Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cheng Yicheng
Gastritis may cause constipation. When suffering from conditions such as gastritis, gastric motility may become insufficient, thereby affecting normal digestive function and leading to constipation. Treatment can usually be carried out under a doctor's guidance by appropriately using medications like mosapride citrate tablets to promote gastrointestinal motility and help relieve constipation.
It is also important to stay adequately hydrated in daily life.
