Am I suffering from atropic gastritis..?

Answered by Dr. Dr Manjunath Metri (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Atrophic Gastritis is more of Histopathological diagnosis

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX welcome back to HCM..

I read your question..

If it was Atrophic Gastritis then, the same diagnosis would be written on your Endoscopy report.

Also, the doctor would have advised for Histopathological examination in case he had a doubt.

Your report says, Mucosal Atrophy.
This is very much different from Atrophic Gastritis itself..
And yes, Atrophic Gastritis is a risk for Cancer.

But, you are not suffering from Atrophic Gastritis as such..
So do not worry..

Hope this helps you..
In case you need any further assistance, please let me know.
Or else you can close the question and rate.
Thank you, take care.
