Gastritis/ Indigestion/ Stomach Ulcers
Causes
Increasing instances of gastrointestinal disorders are attributed to irregular eating habits, excessive dieting, and high stress.
Types
Superficial Gastritis
This is a relatively common type of gastritis caused by stress or various factors that inflame the superficial layer of the stomach lining. Careful dietary choices and adequate rest can lead to sufficient improvement.
Erosive Gastritis
This condition involves severe inflammation of the stomach lining, which can cause abdominal pain and, if untreated, may lead to bleeding or stomach ulcers.
Hemorrhagic Gastritis
This type of gastritis involves inflammation that damages blood vessels, resulting in vomiting blood and abdominal pain.
Atrophic Gastritis
Chronic inflammation leads to the atrophy of the stomach lining, causing problems with stomach acid secretion and often resulting in digestive issues.
Hypertrophic Gastritis
This condition involves thickening of the gastric mucosa and is considered a precursor to gastric cancer.
Metaplastic Gastritis
Long-term irritation of the gastric mucosa leads to this condition, which is more common in elderly individuals. Continuous management is required to prevent progression to gastric cancer.
Bile Reflux Gastritis
Occurs when alkaline bile refluxes through the pylorus (the lower part of the stomach), irritating the stomach lining and causing digestive issues and pain.
Treatment for Gastritis/ Indigestion/ Stomach Ulcers
At AIBI Clinic, we use ancient Chinese remedies to improve blood circulation in the stomach and reduce inflammation.
We also activate the digestive mucosa to enhance capillary expansion, promote blood circulation, increase digestive fluid secretion, and stimulate appetite.
We inhibit abnormal fermentation of food causing indigestion and improve the colonic environment.
Additionally, we promote gastric acid secretion to aid in digestion and supply mucous components to protect the mucosa.
