What is Gastritis?
A condition where the stomach's surface lining is inflamed. Weaknesses or injury to the mucus-lined barrier that usually protect the stomach wall allow digestive juices to damage and inflame the stomach lining. A number of diseases and conditions can increase the risk of gastritis, including a bacteria infection called H. pylori. Some symptoms are belly ache, belly pain, nausea and vomiting.
Typical Symptoms of Gastritis
Stomach pain or tummy ache in a specific place
Feeling uncomfortably bloated after meals
Stressed over daily life
Upper central abdominal pain
Feeling the need to pass motion even though nothing comes out
Nausea or vomiting after eating
Upset tummy / upper abdominal discomfort
Abdominal pain that worsens after meals
Doctor's Diagnostic Questionson Gastritis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Is your stomach pain localized to one specific area?
Do you feel bloated after meals?
Do you feel stressed or unhappy about going to work or school?
Do you have stomach pain in the middle of your abdomen?
Do you frequently feel the need to have a bowel movement but can't?
Treatmentof Gastritis
Treatment depends on the cause. You may be prescribed antibiotics to kill H. pylori bacteria or drugs to block or reduce gastric acid levels. Some patients may find relief through lifestyle changes like avoiding alcohol and spicy food, and stopping medicines that affect the stomach lining.
