Best Doctors for Gastritis Treatment in Kukatpally, Hyderabad

Gastritis is an inflammation of the stomach lining resulting in an upset stomach and sometimes abdominal bleeding. Gastritis can be acute or chronic and is often not a cause of any major concern. Gastritis is caused due an injury to the mucous lining of the digestive tract. This is due to a bacteria called as the Helicobacter pylori. The gastric lining is often covered by a layer of mucous, which protects it from the acids released by the stomach. This lining is damaged by Helicobacter pylori bacteria. There is a wide spread myth that stress and spicy foods cause gastritis and ulcers which is not true. However, they can make symptoms worse. Crohn's disease, which is one of the inflammatory bowel diseases can also cause Gastritis. Overusing Pain killers even the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can also cause the digestive tract lining to get irritated. Lifestyle factors like excessive alcohol consumption can erode the stomach lining. This leaves the stomach lining more vulnerable to acids produced.
