Chronic Gastritis treatment in Mexico City

Chronic gastritis is a persistent inflammation of the lining of the stomach that develops slowly and can last for a long time. Unlike acute episodes, its symptoms tend to be intermittent and prolonged.

Common symptoms:

• Burning or pain in the upper abdomen
• A feeling of fullness, nausea, or heavy digestion
• Loss of appetite

Common causes: It is usually associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, continued use of certain anti-inflammatory drugs, alcohol consumption, or autoimmune factors.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist is the go-to for studying the condition, although the first evaluation may be done by a general practitioner or internist. If digestive discomfort recurs or persists, it is worth consulting a professional.
