Chronic gastritis will never get better in a lifetime.

The treatment and prognosis of chronic gastritis vary depending on individual differences and causes. The recovery largely depends on the severity and type of the condition, the treatment methods used, and the patient's lifestyle habits.

For mild chronic gastritis, removing causative factors, adjusting dietary habits, and avoiding unhealthy lifestyles often result in recovery without the need for lifelong treatment. For more severe cases or chronic gastritis accompanied by other complications, treatment may be more challenging. A combination of medication and lifestyle modifications is usually required. Medications such as proton pump inhibitors, antacids, or gastric mucosal protectants may be used to reduce inflammation and alleviate symptoms, along with eradication therapy for any concurrent Helicobacter pylori infection. It is also important to avoid unhealthy habits such as excessive alcohol consumption and smoking, and to maintain good作息 habits and dietary practices.

For some patients with chronic atrophic gastritis, due to permanent damage to the gastric mucosa, long-term management might be necessary to prevent complications. Proactive treatment and lifestyle changes can significantly improve the quality of life for patients with chronic gastritis and may lead to long-term disease stability.
