The treatment of chronic superficial gastritis with bile reflux requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors.
1. The causes should be eliminated, such as Helicobacter pylori infection, alcohol consumption, and effects of medications, and symptomatic treatment should be administered.
2. Medication therapy is essential. It includes the use of acid-suppressing drugs (e.g., omeprazole), anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin), and gastric mucosal protective agents (e.g., hydrotalcid) to relieve symptoms and protect the gastric mucosa. Additionally, prokinetic drugs (e.g., domperidone) can also help reduce bile reflux.
3. In addition to drug therapy, patients should adjust their dietary habits, avoid spicy and greasy foods, maintain regular meal times, and abstain from irritants such as tobacco, alcohol, and coffee. The treatment of chronic superficial gastritis with bile reflux requires a comprehensive approach combining medication and lifestyle modifications, and should be conducted under a physician's guidance.
