Question
Hello doctor,
I have stomach congestion, I went to ultrasound, the doctor said that my stomach is congested with 7mm thick wall, when there is pain, I press on the stomach and feel tight. So the doctor asked me if gastritis with a thickness of 7mm is dangerous? Am I at risk for stomach cancer? Thank you doctor.

Hi,
With the question “Is 7mm thick wall congestive gastritis dangerous? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The diagnosis of gastritis must be based on endoscopic images, not based on ultrasound for diagnosis, in addition, it must be combined with clinical manifestations, family history , have H.P. infection,... You're young, so there's very little chance of cancer. Ideally, you should have a gastroscopy for proper diagnosis and treatment.
If you still have questions about 7mm thick wall congestive gastritis, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
