Gastritis

Gastritis is a condition that is used to refer to inflammation of the stomach lining. It is a progressive condition that progresses gradually, step-wise. This means a patient suffering from chronic gastritis may experience worsening conditions over a few years or decades. Chronic Gastritis, in the majority of instances, is symptomatic of several conditions pertaining to the gastrointestinal tract. However, it may occur as a stand-alone condition that affects the body in several different ways.

It is a condition that affects the stomach and causes the inflammation of the stomach's inner lining, which prevents the acid from corroding the outer walls of the stomach. When the inner lining is affected by this disease, the acid present in your stomach helps you digest food and starts hurting your organ. This is a painful gastrointestinal condition that affects about half the worldwide population at some point in time. Every year 90 million new cases of Gastritis are reported throughout the world annually.
