Gastritis Simple

Simple gastritis (or G. simplex) is one of the most common diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. It is characterized by inflammation of the gastric mucosa without obvious changes in its structure. Simple gastritis can occur in both acute and chronic forms.

The main cause of simple gastritis is a violation of diet and nutrition, consumption of spicy, fatty, smoked, salty foods, as well as alcohol and smoking. Certain medications, such as aspirin, may also contribute to the development of simple gastritis.

Symptoms of simple gastritis may include stomach pain and discomfort, heartburn, nausea, vomiting, belching and loss of appetite. In the acute form of the disease, symptoms may appear suddenly and be more severe, while in the chronic form of the disease, symptoms may be more subtle and prolonged.

To diagnose simple gastritis, it is necessary to perform gastroscopy - a study in which a gastroscope is inserted into the stomach to visually examine its internal surface. You may also be tested for the presence of the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, which may cause the development of simple gastritis.

Treatment for simple gastritis may include changing your diet and lifestyle, giving up bad habits, and taking medications aimed at reducing inflammation of the gastric mucosa. If the bacterium Helicobacter pylori is detected, antibacterial therapy may be prescribed.

In general, simple gastritis is a disease that can be prevented by proper nutrition and care of the gastrointestinal tract. At the first signs of the disease, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
