MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gastritis is inflammation (irritation) of the stomach lining. Common causes include infection, anti-inflammatory medication and alcohol. Treatment options include avoiding exposure to known irritants, and medication to reduce the amount of gastric juices.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gastritis can sometimes lead to pain, nausea and vomiting. But it often has no symptoms at all. If left untreated, though, some types of gastritis can lead to ulcers (sores in the stomach lining) or even stomach cancer. People used to think gastritis and ulcers were caused by stress and spicy foods.
