Gastritis is a common digestive condition marked by inflammation of the stomach lining. It can occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or develop gradually over time (chronic gastritis). Dr. Abhijeet Karad, a leading Gastroenterologist in Wakad, Pune, emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and proper treatment to prevent complications like ulcers or even stomach bleeding.
What Causes Gastritis?
The most common causes include excessive use of painkillers (NSAIDs), alcohol consumption, stress, bacterial infections like Helicobacter pylori, and autoimmune disorders. Symptoms may vary from mild stomach discomfort, nausea, and bloating to severe abdominal pain and vomiting.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Dr. Karad typically diagnoses gastritis through clinical examination, endoscopy, and specific tests for H. pylori. Treatment includes lifestyle modifications, acid-reducing medications, antibiotics (if infection is present), and dietary changes such as avoiding spicy, acidic, or fried foods.
