Understanding Gastritis

Gastritis refers to inflammation of the stomach lining, which can present in both acute and chronic forms. Acute gastritis may occur suddenly and last for a short time, while chronic gastritis can develop over longer periods and frequently features symptoms such as bloating, nausea, and loss of appetite. Various factors can contribute to gastritis, including infections from Helicobacter pylori bacteria, prolonged use of irritant medications like NSAIDs, and excessive alcohol consumption. Consequently, recognizing gastritis symptoms and understanding their potential underlying causes is crucial for effective management.
