Thus, erosive antral gastritis - an inflammatory disease of the lower portion of the stomach, accompanied by the formation of erosions and ulcers. One of the causes of the disease is considered to be infection of the stomach bacterium Helicobacter pylori. After ingestion of these bacteria colony grows. their metabolic products cause intoxication mucosa and lead to its thinning.
What it is?
Erosive gastritis, erosive or ulcerative gastritis represents one of forms of inflammation in gastric mucosa, resulting in small surface defects are formed in the form of erosions.
From other varieties of erosive gastritis type differs advent of extensive erosion areas on the background inflamed reddened surface. Such damage is sometimes covers the entire surface of the gastric. Development of erosive gastritis stomach begins with the formation of small sores on the outer surface of the stomach and gradually covers more and more territory.
Causes of
The etiology of this disease is quite well understood. erosions formation occurs as a result of the pathological effects of gastric juice on the mucous membrane. If this process is not stopped, may develop ulcers, which are dangerous to their perforation.
Gastric antral may develop in the presence of predisposing factors:
- bacterium Helicobacter pylori - the most frequent etiological factor to 85% of the antral erosive gastritis;
- infectious or inflammatory disease in the digestive tract;
- gastroenteritis;
- Poisoning by toxic substances;
- carry-forward of prior gastric surgery;
- unhealthy diet - the abuse of bold, spicy and fried;
- alcoholism, smoking;
- long reception medicines that affect the integrity of the gastric mucosa.
According to statistics, most often to the development of the disease it causes the bacterium Helicobacter pylori and an unhealthy diet.

To diagnose the disease, it will be necessary to pass: an X-ray of the stomach, fibergastroscope, biopsy.
Diagnostics
To determine the species of gastritis first of all carried out an endoscopy. Then necessarily conducted blood tests and stool. When a difficult diagnosis sometimes resort to X-ray examination.
Gastritis diagnosis should only doctor gastroenterologist. Self-diagnose yourself or someone can not, unless, of course, there is no special education. Self-diagnosis and self-medication without medical training often leads to fatal cases.
How to treat erosive antral gastritis?
Therapeutic measures to combat erosive antral gastritis are aimed at:
- cupping vital pathogenic bacteria;
- elimination of inflammation;
- freedom from pain;
- stop bleeding;
- reduction of the acid level and reconstitution of the enzyme composition.
The most effective - the two-step treatment to fight against pathogens and repair of damaged tissue structures:
- In the first stage applied therapy potent medicines.
- The second stage of treatment is aimed at restoring the tissues affected erosions.
The duration of the therapeutic course is two weeks. Antibacterial agents used, and antatsidnoygruppy medications that reduce the acidic effect on the lesions of the gastrointestinal mucous membranes.
Severe disease is treated by intravenous administration of antacids in liquid form. Soreness stoped by analgesics.
Important to successfully get rid of the disease is diet: You should give preference to low-fat foods that should be consumed in the form of heat. Such a means of therapy to avoid aggravating the inflammation process.
drug therapy

The duration of this course of treatment is 14-15 days. Aggressive treatment is carried out by means of the group of proton pump inhibitors, histamine receptor blockers and prokinetic. In the first step uses triple circuit consisting of a single preparation type proton pump inhibitor and two antibacterial agents: amoxicillin and clarithromycin.
If the first scheme does not change radically the situation, the therapy is appointed for the second scheme, complex consisting of four drugs: dicitratobismuthate bismuth, a proton pump inhibitor, tetracycline and metronidazole. Medicaments antisecretory type and antacids reduce the activity of the oxidized gastric, lower total acidity and stop erosion of the mucosal tissue and corrosion. Sufficient efficacy in this direction have shown drugs Maalox, Almagel, gelyusil, renitsidin omeprazole, Gaviscon and others. Digestion possible to stabilize enzymatic means using type: mezim, Festalum, panzinorm etc.
For patients with severe disease stage provides intravenous liquid antacid and type blocker cimetidine, famotidine; used blood-substituting products. Painful symptoms of spasmodic character are removed by means of antispasmodics: no-spa, papaverine.
