Customer question:
Why does chronic gastritis develop? Question from an anonymous forum customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Chronic gastritis develops due to long-term inflammation of the gastric mucosa. Many reasons for chronic gastritis can occur, including Helicobacter pylori infections, autoimmune diseases, regular use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption, stress, and other factors. In addition to these factors, genetic predisposition, unhealthy diet, smoking, and other lifestyle habits can also affect the risk of developing chronic gastritis.
It is essential to understand that chronic gastritis can develop gradually and that long-term ignoring of symptoms or an unhealthy lifestyle can increase the risk of serious complications such as stomach ulcers, bleeding, or even stomach cancer. That is why it is essential for chronic digestive problems to consult a specialist in digestive diseases, who can help you establish a diagnosis and plan an appropriate treatment.
