"Mom, you've done all the tests, and the doctor said that chronic atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia isn't serious for now, but it's already indicated various degrees of mucosal atrophy, accompanied by gastric epithelial cells being replaced by intestinal epithelial cells."
"I don't understand what you're saying. I heard from my old friends from square dancing that Dr. Lu from the Chinese medicine department at Qiu City Health Center is very skilled. If you're not feeling well, it's definitely right to go to him."
Shi Guanlan felt helpless about her mother's insistence on seeing a Chinese medicine doctor. Seeing her mother didn't understand what she just said, she had to put it another way: "I don't understand either, but the doctor who looked at the test report said that intestinal metaplasia is a pathological diagnosis, an important stage before dysplasia and cancer, meaning your gastric epithelial cells have been replaced by intestinal epithelial cells."
