If long-term overeating, unclean diet, coupled with poor eating habits, stomach health will gradually be affected, a variety of stomach diseases, gastritis, stomach cancer, stomach ulcers and so on.
Among them, gastritis and stomach cancer, which are two different diseases, are believed by many people to turn gastritis into stomach cancer, is this true? The doctor interprets the rumors of the three major stomach diseases for you, and everyone must look at it.
First of all, let's take a look, what is the difference between gastritis and stomach cancer?
From the symptom point of view, gastritis is a cool disease, its main symptoms are heartburn, acid reflux, some patients will cause gastrointestinal bleeding, epigastric pain, the common treatment is internal medicine conservative treatment.
Stomach cancer is different, stomach cancer is a malignant tumor, its main symptoms are not only acid reflux, heartburn, but also body weight loss, fatigue, decreased appetite, epigastric fullness, and irregular epigastric pain. The main treatments for stomach cancer are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, etc.
So does gastritis turn into stomach cancer? Doctors began to analyze the rumors of three major stomach diseases:
First, gastritis can not be cured will accompany it for life
If gastritis is not treated well, it will last a lifetime, and the doctor says this is correct. Chronic gastritis is a common digestive disease, according to modern medical research found that the reason why people suffer from chronic gastritis, is by Helicobacter pylori infection, as well as alkaline fluid reflux and gastric motility disorders, on the current clinical treatment, can not completely eliminate the symptoms of gastritis or cure gastritis.
The treatment cycle of chronic gastritis is relatively long, at least three months, during which some patients do not take medicine according to the doctor's instructions, or the daily diet is not correct to cause secondary damage to the gastric mucosa, which will affect the treatment effect.
And according to the study, it was also found that chronic superficial gastritis has a symptom, mild hyperemia and edema of the gastric mucosa, which is actually a normal response of the gastric mucosa to long-term food irritation, and this reaction will accompany the patient for life, but will not affect the patient's lifespan.
Second, gastritis will be inherited
Wrong, gastritis is not inherited. Adults in the family have gastritis, which may cause children to get sick, but it is not genetic, but because of the usual lifestyle. At present, the causes of gastritis are more complex, if people do not pay attention to dietary hygiene, are infected by Helicobacter pylori, drink alcohol and smoke, these may suffer from gastritis.
It is understood that children are not easy to suffer from gastritis before the age of ten, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, they are in the stage of physical development, the body changes greatly, and they are more likely to suffer from gastritis, so it is recommended that parents pay more attention to their children's health problems during this period, especially eating habits and living habits.
Third, gastritis will turn into stomach cancer
Not necessarily. Chronic gastritis is divided into two types, one is superficial gastritis, and the other is atrophic gastritis, the former will not turn into stomach cancer, while the latter may appear stomach lesions, especially after the age of 45, people with gastritis themselves are best to do regular examinations to protect stomach health.
In summary, for patients with early gastritis, if they do not seize the golden time to treat and control the disease, they may slowly turn into stomach cancer in the later stage.
Therefore, timely detection of problems and timely treatment can control the aggravation of gastritis, remind everyone to eat on time, develop a regular work and rest time, and most importantly, develop the habit of regular physical examination, and understand the health of the stomach in time.
