GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Acute gastritis usually lasts for a short period of time. In most cases, it resolves spontaneously within a few days or weeks once the inflammation has settled. In other cases, however, acute gastritis can lead to recurrent or long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa, otherwise known as chronic gastritis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gastritis occurs when the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed or swollen. Gastritis can last for only a short time (acute gastritis). It may also linger for months to years (chronic gastritis).

Detailed explanation-3: -Chronic gastritis takes a long time to recover and sometimes involves sick leave of several weeks. If gastritis has been around for a long time, complications such as bleeding gastric ulcers (ulcer ventriculi) may need to be operated on. This requires hospitalization.

Detailed explanation-4: -So the question of how long will gastritis last really depends on the cause of it and it can vary from patient to patient. It could be a week or two, it could be a month or even longer than that.
