Chronic superficial gastritis - what does this mean

Chronic superficial gastritis is a type of chronic inflammation of the stomach lining caused by damage to the protective mucous layer, leading to irritation, redness, and swelling of the stomach lining. it is often associated with helicobacter pylori infection, excessive use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or autoimmune disorders.

What happens during the disease - chronic superficial gastritis

Chronic superficial gastritis is caused by a combination of environmental, genetic, and lifestyle factors. it is believed to be the result of an imbalance between the protective factors of the stomach lining and the damaging effects of gastric acid, pepsin, and bile acid. this imbalance leads to chronic inflammation of the stomach lining, which can lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and vomiting.
