Disease description:
Dyspepsia, recurrent episodes of stomach pain, suspecting chronic gastritis—what department does chronic gastritis belong to?

Chronic gastritis belongs to the category of digestive system diseases; therefore, patients can choose to visit the gastroenterology department. The gastroenterology department primarily handles diseases affecting the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and large intestine, including the diagnosis and treatment of chronic gastritis. In the gastroenterology department, patients can undergo relevant examinations such as electronic gastroscopy and Helicobacter pylori testing to accurately assess their condition. Additionally, if chronic gastritis is accompanied by severe organic changes or other conditions requiring surgical intervention, patients may need to receive treatment in the gastrointestinal surgery department. Patients with chronic gastritis should choose the appropriate department for diagnosis and treatment according to their specific condition.
