In outpatient clinics, more and more people feel a sudden tightness in their hearts when they receive their gastroscopy pathology reports and see the words "chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia."
especially "atypical hyperplasia", which is medically referred to as a precancerous lesion of gastric cancerIt indicates that the gastric mucosal cells have undergone abnormal proliferation. Although they have not yet reached the standard for cancer, they are already at the critical point on the path to gastric cancer.
According to clinical studies, moderate to severe atypical hyperplasia, if left untreated,The risk of developing gastric cancer within 5-10 years is significantly increased.Especially when combined with factors such as Helicobacter pylori infection, long-term irregular diet, and high emotional stress, the risk further increases.
Many people initially only experience recurrent stomach pain, bloating, and early satiety, mistakenly believing it to be a "common stomach ailment." They delay treatment and ultimately miss the opportunity for reversal.
But do you know—Precancerous lesions ≠ destined to become cancerUnder scientific intervention, it can be "pulled back."
Ms. He's experience may give you hope.
In the autumn of 2024, she was diagnosed with chronic atrophic gastritis accompanied by moderate intestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia during a medical check-up.
The doctor frankly stated, "This is already a precancerous stage." She instantly fell into anxiety: frequent stomach pain, persistent bloating after meals, seeking help from multiple hospitals, switching Western medications repeatedly, yet symptoms kept recurring, and her quality of life plummeted.
When I first saw her, her complexion was sallow and her body was emaciated. Her tongue was purplish with a thick, greasy coating, and her pulse was wiry and thin—a typicalLiver depression and spleen deficiency, qi stagnation and blood stasisConstitution Manifestations
Long-term emotional suppression and irregular diet have severely damaged her spleen and stomach functions, obstructing the flow of qi and blood, depriving the gastric mucosa of nourishment, making it difficult for pathological changes to repair naturally.
We have developed a plan for herThree-stage conditioning strategy：
Stage one, soothe the liver and strengthen the spleenFirst, alleviate her epigastric distension and pain, poor appetite, and restore the spleen and stomach's transportation and transformation functions;
The second stage, promoting blood circulation and unblocking collateralsImprove gastric microcirculation and promote metabolism of damaged mucosa
The third stage, strengthening the body's resistance and consolidating the constitutionEnhance overall physical constitution, rebuild gastric mucosal barrier, and fundamentally reverse pathological changes.
During the treatment, she actively cooperated: avoiding spicy and greasy foods, maintaining a regular schedule, and learning emotional management.
After 3 months, stomach pain significantly reduced, appetite improved, and weight began to recover.
Persist in recuperation for a full year, and in 2025, a follow-up gastroscopy revealed pathological results indicatingIntestinal metaplasia and atypical hyperplasia completely disappeared, only mild chronic inflammation remained in the gastric mucosa！
She held the report and said excitedly:This year, every bite of light diet and every moment of emotional regulation has been worth it!
This case is not an isolated one.
Modern medicine is increasingly recognizing thatThe reversibility of histopathology is not only theoretical but can also be achieved through individualized comprehensive intervention。
The key lies in early detection, early intervention, systematic treatment, and perseverance.
In fact, the development of most stomach diseases is aA gradual process that spans several years or even over a decade。
从Superficial gastritis→Atrophy→Intestinal metaplasia→Atypical hyperplasia→Gastric cancerEvery step leaves an opportunity to "brake".
What truly determines the direction is not just the disease itself, but also your attitude and actions in facing it.
Remember:Stomach diseases can be prevented, and cancer progression can be controlled。
A single gastroscopy is not the end, but the starting point of health management. Adjust your lifestyle, pay attention to your body's signals, and intervene scientifically and normatively—you are fully capable of resetting your stomach's "countdown" back to a healthy track.
