Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (gastroenterology)

Gastritis with reduced acidity: atrophic, chronic, erosive

One of the main components of gastric juice is hydrochloric acid, without which the process of complete digestion of food is impossible. Its concentration in the composition of gastric juice is determined by the acidity of the stomach

Erosive gastropathy: antral, focal, atrophic

A defect in the gastric mucosa in the form of small ulcers up to 1.5 cm in diameter (erosions) can occur both against the background of a pronounced inflammatory process (erosive gastritis), and with minimal manifestations of inflammation or without them at all - erosive gastropathy.

Catarrhal gastritis: antral, superficial, focal, diffuse, acute, chronic, erosive

The inflammatory process in the gastric mucosa is catarrhal gastritis. Let's consider the features of the disease, its types, symptoms, diagnostic and treatment methods.

Duodenal bulb ulcer: acute, chronic, mirror ulcer

When we feel pain in the stomach area, we most often attribute this symptom to it. Inventing various reasons (stale or indigestible food, poisoning with drugs or chemicals, incipient gastritis or even a stomach ulcer), we do not think that the cause of pain and discomfort in the abdomen may not be related to the stomach at all.

Chronic gastritis of the antral region of the stomach: erosive, focal, diffuse, superficial, atrophic

Let's say right away: this diagnosis indicates that in a certain part of the stomach (namely, in the antrum, where the formation of the food bolus occurs) there is an inflammatory reaction with a chronic course.

Gastritis with hyperacidity

Gastritis – the name of this disease can be encountered in everyday life very often. And there is nothing surprising in this, because according to statistics, almost half of the world's population suffers from gastritis.

Low stomach acidity: how to determine, nutrition and diet

Everyone knows that high stomach acidity is bad, but do you know how dangerous low stomach acidity is?

Erythematous gastropathy: focal, diffuse, erosive, antral gastropathy

Erythematous gastropathy is only an endoscopic conclusion, not a clinical disease. This diagnosis means that there are foci of hyperemia or redness on the gastric mucosa. This symptom mainly occurs with the development of superficial gastritis.

Follicular bulbitis

Bulbit is a pathology in which inflammation of the mucous membrane of the duodenal bulb occurs. During an endoscopic examination, a large number of small bubbles can be seen on it - the so-called follicles. In this condition, a diagnosis of follicular bulbitis is made.

Increased stomach acidity

Proper digestion of food is the key to good health of the body as a whole. For the normal digestion process, gastric secretion, acidity and composition of gastric juice play a fundamental role.
