Chronic non-atrophic gastritis with severe erosion

Chronic non-atrophic gastritis with erosion is a relatively severe gastric disease characterized by long-term irritation and damage to the gastric mucosa, leading to chronic inflammation accompanied by mucosal erosion. This condition may be caused by various factors, including improper diet (such as long-term consumption of coarse or irritating foods, high-salt diet), unhealthy lifestyle habits (such as long-term smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and staying up late), long-term medication use (e.g., nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), bile reflux, and Helicobacter pylori infection. Patients may experience varying degrees of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, heartburn, and acid reflux. In severe cases, serious complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding may occur. Treatment involves not only pharmacotherapy but also dietary adjustments, avoidance of irritant foods, maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, and, when necessary, testing for and treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection.
