    Atrophic gastritis is mainly related to factors such as infection, taking nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and bile reflux.

    1. Infection

    Atrophic gastritis is mostly caused by Helicobacter pylori infection and can be treated with oral antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor, such as metronidazole tablets, amoxicillin capsules, clarithromycin tablets, etc.

    2. Take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs

    Long-term use of NSAIDs can lead to gastric mucosal congestion and eventually atrophic gastritis. You should stop taking NSAIDs.

    3. Bile reflux

    Pyloric sphincter dysfunction can lead to a large amount of bile reflux, damage the gastric mucosa, and cause atrophic gastritis. You can follow the doctor's instructions for oral treatment with drugs that inhibit gastric acid secretion, such as ranitidine hydrochloride tablets, cimetidine tablets, nizatidine tablets, etc.
