How long it takes for gastric mucosal damage to recover generally depends on the severity of gastric mucosal damage, whether it is acute or chronic, and whether the pathogenic factors are removed.
The gastric mucosa is repaired quickly. For acute gastric mucosal lesions, such as gastric mucosal damage caused by alcohol, if drinking alcohol is stopped and drug treatment is applied regularly, most patients can fully recover in about 3-5 days, and no problems will be found by gastroscopy. However, chronic gastritis, accompanied by Helicobacter pylori infection, etc., if the patient develops peptic ulcer, the gastric mucosa may be repaired slowly, such as duodenal ulcer, it takes about 4-6 weeks to heal; gastric ulcer requires regular medication, 6- It takes about 8 weeks to heal. In addition, it is necessary to remove the predisposing factors that lead to gastric ulcers, such as eradication of Helicobacter pylori, discontinuation of some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.
Patients with gastric mucosal damage should pay attention to regular diet and avoid spicy and stimulating food, which is conducive to early recovery.
