Dr. Zhao Haiming
Chronic gastritis primarily refers to conditions such as chronic atrophic gastritis, hypertrophic gastritis, and chronic superficial gastritis. Its development is associated with prolonged unhealthy dietary habits, environmental factors, and psychological stress. Upon diagnosis, early intervention under a physician’s guidance—such as treatment with medications like rabeprazole—is recommended to alleviate symptoms.
