Dr. Zhao Haiming
Chronic gastritis can cause back pain. It is a condition primarily characterized by inflammation and infection of the stomach. As the disease progresses, it may irritate structures referred to the back, leading to back pain. Patients should prioritize adequate rest and undergo active treatment to improve their condition. Dietary recommendations include consuming light, bland foods and avoiding spicy foods.
