Superficial gastritis and Helicobacter pylori

There are many gastritis patients in our lives. For gastritis patients, when the disease occurs, their stomachs will have various conditions. Many people believe that Helicobacter pylori is the main bacteria that causes stomach disease. In fact, this bacterium can only cause a single stomach disease, and Helicobacter pylori is particularly difficult to eliminate and can easily recur. So what is the relationship between superficial gastritis and Helicobacter pylori?

With the increase of social pressure and the accelerated pace of life, due to irregular diet, mental stress, or some people often take drugs that irritate the gastrointestinal tract due to certain diseases, leading to the occurrence of chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, more and more people are suffering from gastritis, often with abdominal pain, bloating, belching and other symptoms. Some patients with mild symptoms may be cured soon, but if accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, the disease will recur without targeted treatment. So what should we do if we have chronic superficial gastritis accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection?

Steps/Methods:

1 First of all, we must eliminate the infection of the cause of the disease, such as eating in moderation, quitting smoking and drinking, not eating spicy and irritating foods, as well as foods that are too cold or too hot. The diet should be light and easy to digest, and you can eat small meals frequently; regulate your emotions, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and ensure adequate sleep. If you are taking any medication that irritates the gastrointestinal tract, use it under the guidance of a doctor.

2 Secondly, use some stomach-protecting medication to relieve symptoms and further irritation. You can use drugs that protect the gastric mucosa, such as sucralfate. If abdominal bloating and belching occur, you can take some drugs that promote gastrointestinal motility and normal digestion, such as domperidone. If you have acid belching or excessive stomach acid, you can take some antacids such as cimetidine.

3 Finally, patients with Helicobacter pylori infection must use antibiotics to kill the bacteria and recover from the disease, such as clarithromycin, amoxicillin, etc., and two of them are often taken in combination. After taking the course of treatment, you must go to the hospital for another gastroscopy to ensure that Helicobacter pylori is negative.

Precautions

The occurrence of chronic superficial gastritis has a great impact on daily life. Patients with Helicobacter pylori infection must receive antibiotic treatment to reduce the recurrence of the disease. Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and the use of some drugs that are irritating to the gastrointestinal tract should be reduced to avoid aggravating the condition.
