How long does it take to cure chronic gastritis?
Disease description:
I was diagnosed with chronic gastritis during a health checkup at the end of last month. I've been taking medication as prescribed and have been very careful about my diet, but it still hasn't fully healed. I really want to know how long it takes to recover from chronic gastritis.

The time required to cure chronic gastritis depends on the specific condition of the patient. If a patient experiences discomfort such as abdominal pain and belching, and mucosal inflammation or erosion is observed during gastroscopy, oral medication can lead to recovery within 4 weeks. However, for patients who have developed chronic atrophic gastritis, treatment may take much longer, possibly exceeding 3 months. These patients must undergo regular gastroscopic examinations to detect any potential malignant changes promptly.
