Gastritis & its Management | Maiday Ka Masla |The Medbros | Dr Zohaib |

Gastritis refers to the inflammation, erosion, or irritation of the lining of the stomach. There are various causes of gastritis, including: H. pylori Infection: This is a bacterial infection that can cause inflammation of the stomach lining. Regular use of NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen can irritate the stomach lining and lead to gastritis. Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Alcohol can irritate and erode the stomach lining, leading to inflammation. Stress: While stress doesn’t directly cause gastritis, it can exacerbate symptoms or make them worse. Autoimmune Disorders: In some cases, the body's immune system attacks the stomach lining, leading to gastritis. Managing gastritis involves several approaches: Medication: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or H2 blockers can help reduce stomach acid and allow the stomach lining to heal. Antibiotics may be prescribed if an H. pylori infection is present. Avoid Triggers: Stay away from irritants such as spicy foods, acidic foods, alcohol, and NSAIDs that can worsen symptoms. Dietary Changes: Eat smaller, more frequent meals. Include foods that are gentle on the stomach, such as oatmeal, bananas, rice, and non-citrus fruits. Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to alleviate symptoms. Avoid Smoking: Smoking can worsen gastritis, so quitting or reducing smoking can help manage symptoms. It’s essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment, as severe or chronic gastritis may require more targeted therapy or investigation into underlying causes.
