Gastritis is a violation of the digestibility of food caused by an inflammatory process. According to statistics, 85% of people have experienced this disease. It is customary to distinguish two main forms of gastritis: acute and chronic.
Acute gastritis.
A short-term form caused by a single exposure to an irritant. With untimely treatment, it develops into chronic gastritis.
Chronic gastritis.
Structural disorders of the stomach that occur with prolonged exposure to irritating factors. In the future, it may provoke the formation of stomach ulcers. Exacerbation of chronic gastritis is usually observed 2 times a year (spring, autumn).
