Hello friend,
With the question "How is nodular gastritis treated?", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You are missing a very important information during a gastroscopy that is the condition of the stomach. H.Pylori infection, nodular gastritis is a fairly typical lesion of H.Pylori infection, but it must be proved by urease test, breathing test or histopathology. In case H.Pylori results – Positive, the important thing to do is to treat H.Pylori first. After that, if you still have gastrointestinal symptoms, your doctor will prescribe more medicine for you.
Besides, you have cramping pain in the abdomen but do not specify where. Usually, stomach pain is in the abdomen above the navel, in the middle, or sideways depending on the location of the esophagus - stomach and duodenum, the pain is cyclical and often associated with meals. For example, pain before eating is often due to gastritis, after eating is often due to duodenal ulcer. If the pain is in the lower abdomen, slightly to the left, it is often due to colitis. You also have abdominal bloating, this symptom is more inclined to disease of the colon.
If you have taken medicine but the disease does not improve, you should go back to the doctor to see if you are infected with H.Pylori and have any other colon problems. Your doctor may order you to do some more tests such as: breathing test for H.Pylori, stool test and colonoscopy to confirm the problem and then continue treatment. Vinmec International General Hospital system has many good gastroenterologists with modern equipment that will effectively examine and treat you.
