Gastritis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the lining of the stomach. It can be caused by various factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, prolonged use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), Helicobacter pylori infection, stress, and autoimmune diseases. Symptoms of gastritis can include abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers like alcohol and NSAIDs, as well as medications to reduce stomach acid production and treat underlying infections. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment of gastritis.
