Chronic Gastritis (Superficial / Atrophic Gastritis)

A common yet underestimated urban health risk

Fast-paced lifestyles, high stress levels and irregular eating habits often lead to digestive discomfort such as stomach pain, bloating, belching, acid reflux and loss of appetite. Chronic gastritis is extremely common but frequently overlooked.

If left untreated, chronic inflammation of the gastric mucosa may progress through a series of pathological changes:
Normal mucosa → Chronic inflammation → Atrophy → Intestinal metaplasia → LGIN → HGIN → Early gastric cancer → Advanced gastric cancer.

How TCM can help

Conventional medicine typically focuses on acid suppression, mucosal protection and regular endoscopic surveillance, which manage symptoms but may not address underlying imbalances.

Clinical studies have shown that TCM intervention can significantly relieve symptoms and slow disease progression. At Dr Man Herbal, we:

• Combine herbal medicine with acupuncture for enhanced therapeutic effect
• Use syndrome differentiation to tailor treatment to individual constitution, lifestyle and dietary habits
• Strengthen the spleen, regulate Qi and improve blood circulation to restore digestive balance
• Reduce gastric mucosal inflammation and inhibit abnormal cell proliferation
• Support long-term gastric health and reduce cancer risk

Our patient-centred approach not only targets symptom relief but also works to rebalance the body’s internal environment, helping prevent recurrence.
