Male, 35 years old, suffering from chronic gastritis. Can chronic gastritis cause gastric cancer?

Chronic gastritis is a major risk factor for gastric cancer, but not every case of chronic gastritis will eventually develop into gastric cancer.

The development and evolution process of gastric cancer is from chronic superficial gastritis - chronic atrophic gastritis - intestinal metaplasia - dysplasia - gastric cancer. Therefore, actively preventing and treating chronic gastritis and other early lesions, especially actively treating atrophic gastritis and enteritis, are important measures to prevent the occurrence of gastric cancer.

The current trend of younger gastric cancer patients is mainly related to excessive smoking, alcoholism, improper diet, irregular lifestyle and mental stress caused by life pressure. These factors will disrupt the normal activity of the gastrointestinal tract, seriously damage the gastric mucosa, lead to gastritis, gastric ulcers and other stomach diseases, and eventually promote cancer.

Once stomach discomfort occurs, you should go to a regular hospital for special examination as soon as possible. This is the most effective way to detect gastric cancer in its early stages. Once gastric cancer is diagnosed, you should go to a regular hospital with the ability to treat it as soon as possible. This is the key to curing gastric cancer.

Although chronic gastritis is not a very serious disease, you still need to pay attention to daily maintenance and conditioning.

Chronic gastritis diet should pay attention to:

1. Keep a happy spirit. Depression or excessive tension and fatigue can easily cause pyloric sphincter dysfunction, bile reflux and chronic gastritis.

2. Use with caution and avoid using drugs that are harmful to the gastric mucosa.

3. Drink less strong tea, strong coffee and other stimulating beverages. It is also very important to quit smoking and drinking.
