The clinical manifestations of congestive gastritis mainly include: 1. Abdominal pain: Most patients experience epigastric pain, which may be caused by long-term unhealthy eating habits or frequent alcohol consumption. 2. Abdominal distension: Since the antrum is the lower part of the stomach, congestive gastritis can affect gastrointestinal motility, leading to reduced digestion and absorption of food, thus causing a sensation of bloating. 3. Acid regurgitation: As the condition worsens, gastric acid secretion may increase, causing symptoms of acid regurgitation. 4. Nausea and vomiting: When the gastric mucosa is irritated, patients may experience symptoms of nausea and vomiting. 5. Loss of appetite: Due to impaired normal function of the gastrointestinal tract, patients may experience a loss of appetite.
