Diagnosis of Gastritis in Israel
Gastritis is an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa, leading to dystrophic changes in the stomach wall.
Gastritis occurs as a result of coarse, poorly chewed food entering the stomach, excessively hot or spicy food. Often, gastritis is caused by the Helicobacter microbe, arising from acute food poisoning, smoking, the use of certain medications, hereditary diseases, and accompanying digestive system diseases.
It is important to remember that chronic gastritis can progress to ulcers or stomach cancer, so treatment is necessary for gastritis.
