Gastritis is a general term for a group of conditions with one thing in common: Inflammation of the lining of the stomach. The inflammation of gastritis is most often the result of infection with the same bacterium that causes

Gastritis is due to the inflammation of the gastric mucosa of the stomach. Depending on the cause, gastritis may be acute or chronic may may persist and develop serious conditions such as atrophy of the stomach.
Commonly, the inflammation of gastritis results from infection with the same bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers. Gastritis may occur suddenly (acute gastritis), or it can occur slowly over time (chronic gastritis).
Chronic gastritis develops gradually and is more likely to cause a dull pain and a feeling of fullness or loss of appetite after a few bites of food. For many people, though, chronic gastritis causes no signs or symptoms at all. Occasionally, gastritis may cause stomach bleeding, but it's rarely severe. But be aware that bleeding in your stomach that causes you to vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools requires immediate medical care.
Treatment of gastritis depends on the specific eating habits or Situation occurred with Patient. Acute gastritis caused by NSAIDs, excessive Junk food or alcohol, may be relieved by stopping use of those substances. Chronic gastritis caused by H. pylori infection is treated by eradicating the bacteria. Most gastritis treatment plans also incorporate medications that treat stomach acid in order to reduce signs and symptoms you're experiencing and promote healing in your stomach.
