Gastritis is a condition characterised by inflammation of the stomach lining. It can develop suddenly as acute gastritis or gradually over time as chronic gastritis. While the condition is common, it should not be dismissed as simple indigestion. Untreated gastritis can progress to more serious complications including stomach ulcers and in rare cases, stomach cancer. At LGI Hospital, Nagpur, our experienced gastroenterologists provide accurate diagnosis and comprehensive gastritis treatment to help patients achieve lasting relief.

What Is Gastritis?

The stomach lining, known as the mucosa, produces acid and enzymes that aid in digestion. When this lining becomes inflamed or irritated, the condition is called gastritis. In some cases the stomach lining may also start to erode, leading to what is known as erosive gastritis. Both acute and chronic gastritis require proper medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.

Common Symptoms of Gastritis

Symptoms of gastritis can vary depending on the type and severity of the condition. Common symptoms include:
  • Burning or gnawing pain in the upper abdomen
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • A feeling of fullness or bloating after eating even small amounts
  • Loss of appetite
  • Indigestion and discomfort after meals
  • Dark or tarry stools in cases of erosive gastritis
  • Vomiting blood in severe cases

Some individuals with chronic gastritis may experience very mild or no symptoms at all, making regular medical evaluation important when risk factors are present.

Common Causes of Gastritis

Gastritis can be triggered by a variety of factors. Understanding the cause is essential for effective treatment. Common causes include:
  • Infection with Helicobacter pylori, commonly known as H. pylori bacteria
  • Prolonged use of non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin or ibuprofen
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Chronic stress
  • Autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own stomach lining
  • Bile reflux from the small intestine into the stomach
  • Certain viral or bacterial infections

H. pylori gastritis is one of the most common forms and is highly treatable with the right antibiotic therapy prescribed by a specialist.

When Should You See a Doctor for Gastritis?

It is strongly advisable to consult a gastroenterologist if you notice any of the following:
  • Upper abdominal pain that is persistent or worsening
  • Nausea or vomiting that does not resolve within a day or two
  • Blood in vomit or black tarry stools
  • Unexplained weight loss along with digestive discomfort
  • Symptoms that keep returning despite dietary changes
  • Prolonged loss of appetite affecting nutrition

Gastritis symptoms can sometimes overlap with those of other digestive conditions. A proper medical evaluation is essential for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Q5. Is gastritis related to acidity?
