The most common symptoms of chronic gastritis are upper abdominal pain and a feeling of fullness, which are especially obvious after eating. Chronic enteritis may cause repeated abdominal pain, indigestion, and diarrhea. Timely examination and treatment are required to avoid serious harm.

1. Symptoms of chronic gastritis: Pain and bloating in the upper abdomen are the most common symptoms of chronic gastritis. The pain of chronic gastritis can have many different properties. Some patients may experience stabbing pain, some may experience dull pain, and some may experience severe pain. That is, the pain of chronic gastritis is not as rhythmic as that of peptic ulcer; patients with chronic gastritis often have gastric motility disorders, so many patients experience a feeling of fullness or stuffiness in the epigastric area, which may worsen after eating. Some patients may feel fullness and discomfort in the epigastric area after eating a small amount of food; frequent belching, acid regurgitation, nausea, vomiting, etc. may also occur; patients with chronic gastritis may also have loss of appetite, diarrhea, fatigue, weight loss, dizziness, insomnia, etc.

2. Symptoms of chronic enteritis Mainly manifested as long-term chronic or recurrent abdominal pain, diarrhea and indigestion, etc. In severe cases, mucus or watery stools may occur; The severity of diarrhea varies from mild to severe. In mild cases, patients may defecate 3-4 times a day, and in severe cases, once every 1-2 hours, and may even experience fecal incontinence; If the lesion involves the rectum, there may also be a feeling of tenesmus, and the stool will be mushy, mixed with a large amount of mucus, and may also contain pus and blood.

3. Chronic gastritis examination Gastric juice analysis: This test can measure the secretion of basal gastric juice and judge the gastric acid secretion function. In chronic superficial gastritis, gastric acid is mostly normal, while in chronic atrophic gastritis, gastric acid is reduced; Gastroscopy and biopsy: These are the main methods for diagnosing chronic gastritis.

4. Examination of chronic enteritis X-ray barium examination: Barium enema is of great value in the diagnosis and differentiation of this disease, but it is generally not suitable for this examination in the acute phase; Endoscopic examination: Most lesions of chronic enteritis are in the rectum and sigmoid colon, so sigmoidoscopy is very valuable. Cleansing enema is generally not performed, and this examination should be avoided in patients with severe acute illness to avoid perforation.
