Gastritis
Gastritis is an inflammatory pathology that affects the mucous membrane of the stomach and disrupts its normal functioning. This disease can have both an acute and a chronic course, affecting individual or all parts of the stomach.
The peculiarity of the disease is that it often proceeds asymptomatically in the initial stages, but in the absence of treatment can lead to serious complications.
Reasons
The bacterium Helicobacter pylori
Alcohol abuse and smoking
Long-term use of certain medications
Autoimmune processes
Bile reflux into the stomach
Symptoms
Abdominal discomfort
Nausea
Decreased appetite
Feeling of heaviness after eating
Effects
Impaired gastric function can cause a deficiency of important vitamins and trace elements, leading to anemia and other metabolic disorders. With a prolonged course of the disease, mucosal atrophy may occur, which increases the risk of developing stomach cancer.
Лечение
Conservative treatment
Treatment of gastritis includes following a diet with the exception of irritating foods, giving up bad habits. Drug therapy may include antacids, proton pump inhibitors to reduce acidity, and antibiotics in the presence of H. pylori.
