Gastritis is defined as the inflammation of the gastric mucosa.
Acute gastritis: It is an acute mucosal inflammatory process, usually transient. The main factors that produce acute gastritis are
1. Heavy use of NSAIDs drugs, particularly aspirin
2. Excessive intake of alcohol
3. Severe smoking
4. Cancer chemotherapy
5. Uremia
6. Systemic infection
7. Severe stress
8. Ischemia and shock
9. Ingestion of gastric irritants like acid and alkali
10. Mechanical trauma following distal gastrectomy.
Any one of these factors above may cause an increase in the acid production or a decrease in the production of surface bicarbonate buffer in the stomach. This reduces the mucosal blood flow, which results in the disruption of the mucous layer and damage to mucous epithelium. Because of this moderate mucosal edema and hyperemia with entry of neutrophils into the epithelial layer happens. Erosion of this superficial epithelial layer and hemorrhage constitute acute hemorrhagic Erosive Gastritis, which causes acute abdominal pain with hematemesis.
Chronic Gastritis: Chronic gastritis is defined as the presence of chronic mucosal inflammatory changes leading eventually to mucosal atrophy and epithelial metaplasia. The main factors which causes chronic gastritis are
1. Chronic infections especially Helicobacter pylori
2. Alcohol and tobacco
3. Post-surgical radiation
4. Uremia
5. Amyloidosis
The main symptoms of chronic gastritis are nausea, vomiting, epigastric discomfort, abdominal distension.
We have very good medicines for this gastritis, which must be taken for a period of 40 days. It cures any form of gastritis and we strongly say that gastritis will never be remittent and it will never come again unless or until you adapt to the regulations said by a well-trained siddha doctor.
