It's necessary to do gastroscopy

summary

My husband got chronic gastritis because he was too tired to work. He often has a stomachache. Now he is much better. I'd like to share with you the need to do gastroscopy, hoping to help more people.

It's necessary to do gastroscopy

Examination 1: gastroscopy and biopsy: gastroscopy combined with biopsy under direct vision is the main method for the diagnosis of chronic gastritis. Superficial gastritis is often the most obvious in the antrum, mostly diffuse, the surface of gastric mucosa is red and white or pattern like changes, sometimes scattered erosion, often white or yellow white exudates. Atrophic gastritis mucosa is pale or gray, wrinkle wall thin or flat, because the gastric mucosa thin, so that submucosal blood vessels can be seen in purple blue, lesions can be diffuse or mainly in the gastric antrum.

Examination 2: Gastric exfoliative cell examination is a relatively simple diagnostic method. Under the direct vision of gastroscope, brushing cells from suspicious places in the stomach for exfoliative cytological examination is helpful for differential diagnosis.

Examination 3: gastric juice analysis: chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric acid secretion is often impaired, especially in the body of the stomach when the most serious chronic atrophic gastritis. Serum parietal cell antibody test and serum gastrin determination: in most cases of gastric body gastritis, serum parietal cell antibody is often positive, while serum gastrin is increased. On the contrary, in antral gastritis, serum parietal cell antibodies were mostly negative, while serum gastrin was decreased.

matters needing attention

On this, I would like to remind you: acute gastritis is an acute and reversible lesion of gastric mucosa, which can be caused by chemical (tobacco, liquor, strong tea, coffee, drugs, etc.), physical (too hot, too cold, too rough food, X-ray irradiation, etc.) stimulation or contact with bacteria or its toxins. The course of disease is generally short, and the prognosis is good after 1-2 days. Generally divided into simple, corrosive, infectious, suppurative and bleeding erosive gastritis five.
