Chronic gastroenteritis refers to a condition in which the gastric and small intestinal mucosa undergoes chronic inflammation due to various stimuli, leading to functional abnormalities and tissue changes. It mainly affects middle-aged individuals and is commonly caused by irregular eating habits, excessive alcohol consumption, mental stress, Helicobacter pylori infection, etc. The symptoms of this disease can vary in severity, and if not controlled in time, it may progress to gastric ulcers or precancerous lesions. Early intervention and standardized treatment are crucial.
Europe and America
The incidence of chronic gastroenteritis is increasing year by year in European and American countries. Data from the United States shows that over 20% of gastric disease patients each year suffer from chronic inflammation, which is mainly associated with high-fat diets and fast-paced lifestyles.
Southeast Asia
In countries such as China and Singapore, chronic gastroenteritis is prevalent due to heavy oil and spicy diets and high rates of Helicobacter pylori infection. Some regions have infection rates exceeding 60%, and there is a trend of younger patients.
1. Digestive Dysfunction
Damage to the gastric mucosa affects the secretion of digestive juices, leading to post-meal bloating, belching, and indigestion, which can cause malnutrition in the long term.
2. Mucosal Structure Degeneration
Chronic inflammation can cause gastric mucosal erosion, hyperplasia, or atrophy, reducing the protective function of the mucosa, leading to a vicious cycle.
3. Increased Risk of Bleeding and Ulcers
Lesions in the mucosa, when exposed to acidic environments, may form erosions and cause bleeding. In severe cases, hospitalization or even surgical intervention may be required.
4. Increased Risk of Cancer
Some patients may develop intestinal metaplasia or atypical hyperplasia, which increases the likelihood of gastric cancer. This is a significant hidden danger in the development of chronic diseases.
1. Stem Cell Therapy
Stem cell therapy helps repair gastrointestinal mucosa, regulate immune responses, and rebuild the microenvironment, alleviating inflammation and symptoms. Stem cell therapy has good effects on repairing both mild and severe inflammation.
① Repair gastrointestinal epithelial cells
② Improve local inflammatory environment
③ Rebuild gastrointestinal mucosal structure
④ Promote gastric juice secretion balance
⑤ Delay the progression of lesions
2. Immune Cell Therapy
Immune cell therapy can restore gastrointestinal immune tolerance, promote the recovery of the gut microecology, and is suitable for treating patients at high risk of malignant tumors.
1. Proton Pump Inhibitors
Effective in controlling gastric acid secretion and reducing gastric mucosal damage, suitable for acid-overproduction chronic gastritis.
2. Helicobacter Pylori Eradication Therapy
Suitable for patients infected with Helicobacter pylori. Using a combination of antibiotics to eradicate the bacteria and reduce the recurrence rate.
3. Dietary Control
Reducing spicy and fatty foods, maintaining regular and proper meal times, and improving the gastric mucosal environment are the foundation of conservative treatment.
4. Prokinetic Drugs
Helps normalize gastrointestinal motility, relieves post-meal fullness, and improves gastric emptying capacity.
5. Traditional Chinese Medicine
Herbal formulations such as Xiangsha Liujunzi Decoction are suitable for patients with a weak constitution, emphasizing strengthening the spleen and stomach and regulating the intestines.
6. Psychological Intervention and Lifestyle Management
Emotional fluctuations affect gastrointestinal function. Maintaining a regular lifestyle and managing emotions can reduce recurrence.
7. Avoid Drug Irritation
Avoid prolonged use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. If medication is required, it should be done under a doctor's guidance.
Chronic gastritis has a long course and is prone to relapse. If not properly managed, it can worsen, increasing the risk of malignant tumors. Experts from the International Life Medical Center remind patients to intervene early and follow standardized treatment, using stem cell technology to enhance mucosal repair and overall efficacy.
