Is hot compress good for gastritis?
Gastritis is a common disease in clinical practice and is most frequently seen in gastroenterology departments. Patients often experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and belching. While local heat application can alleviate some symptoms, it does not address the underlying issue. Gastritis is generally considered to be inflammation of the stomach caused by various factors and can be categorized into acute and chronic types. From a treatment perspective, medications that reduce acid and protect the stomach are commonly used. Local heat may relieve stomach pain, bloating, and even pain caused by gastric spasms, but it is not beneficial for controlling stomach inflammation. Therefore, patients are advised to pursue active pharmacological treatment, including medications that protect the stomach. If Helicobacter pylori infection is detected during gastritis examination, treatment targeting Helicobacter pylori is recommended. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)
