It is a misunderstanding that chronic gastritis can easily lead to gastric cancer

Due to long-term suffering from chronic gastric diseases, coupled with some irresponsible quack doctors and exaggerated advertisements, some patients often have the above wrong ideas, and as a result they become listless, depressed, and worried all day long, which not only affects their study and work, but also brings unnecessary economic losses.

Chronic gastritis is actually a symptom, similar to a cold. As long as the symptoms are controlled, it will not recur, let alone worsen. There is no need to be afraid. The occurrence of gastric cancer is related to many factors such as genetics, diet, geographical environment, and disease. Current research results have not confirmed that gastritis is directly related to gastric cancer. Only some patients with severe chronic gastritis, such as atrophic chronic gastritis and gastric ulcers, have a certain connection with gastric cancer, but it is not inevitable. If gastric ulcers do not heal for a long time, they may turn into gastric cancer.
