1 Species of the disease

Reflux gastritis has its own classification, which takes into account the causes and features of the course of the disease. Therefore, in medicine, biliary reflux gastritis has the following types:

1. Superficial. In this case, inflammation affects only the cells of the upper layer or epithelium. Since the masses that have been in the intestine carry a negative effect, at this stage the stomach can still produce new cells instead of the affected ones. But the body will not be able to provide such protection for a long time, therefore a person must seek medical help. In the opposite case, the risk of developing cancerous tumors is high.
2. Biliary reflux gastritis( erosive type).According to the name, one can understand that with such a reflux, erosions and sores are already beginning to appear, which will still have small dimensions. But, despite this, the patient's condition will start to worsen, he will feel constant pain in the stomach, which is especially worse after eating. Such gastritis requires complex treatment, since an untimely reaction is fraught with the formation of ulcers in the stomach.

3. Atrophic. This variety is the most dangerous for health, because due to the progress of the disease the mucous walls of the stomach begin to undergo changes. Such a biliary reflux of gastritis in medicine is considered to be the first stage of the formation of cancer tumors. If you do not take active measures during this period, a malignant neoplasm will appear in the stomach.

Depending on what negative factors are constantly affecting the human body, this form of the disease may appear. Usually gastritis tends to gradually move from an easy stage to a heavier one. But it can also happen that erosion or even atrophy will immediately appear in the stomach. Here, in many ways, the decisive role is played by the way of life. If you do not tackle the problem in time, then it can take a chronic nature and then with such an ailment you will have to suffer all your life.

2 The nature of the

flow There is another classification that divides the disease depending on where it occurs. It also takes into account the nature of the course of gastritis. Therefore, the ailment can be of the following types:

1. Focal. The inflammatory process can be localized in one particular place in the mucous membrane, because of which it will be called the focus of inflammation. The symptoms here are the same as those with biliary reflux esophagitis: heartburn, belching, throat swelling, cough, in extreme cases vomiting.
2. Diffuse. Unlike the first type, here the lesion captures the entire surface of the mucous membrane, but the inflammation is uniform.
3. Acute. This form occurs quickly and rapidly. The patient feels strongly pronounced symptoms: pain, eructation, heartburn. Acute reflux of gastritis can occur not only because of eating problems, but also because of chemicals and pathogenic bacteria that somehow got into the body.
4. Chronic. Unlike the previous species, this gastritis develops slowly, and here the lesion affects the entire mucosa of the stomach. The duration of such a process can be measured over the years, because of which the patient does not begin to treat reflux gastritis. This is due to the fact that the symptoms here are not as bright as in the previous case, so this form carries a certain health hazard.

To avoid disease and not think about how to treat it, a person should know and remember what exactly triggers the development of reflux gastritis and, first of all, revise their lifestyle, as many bad habits cause diseases not only of the digestive system, but also respiratoryand even cardiovascular.

3 Causes of

• if in a history there is a diagnosis of chronic duodenitis, that is, inflammation of the duodenum;
• reception of medicines of anesthetic and anti-inflammatory nature, for example Nurofen or Analgin;
• when a person suffers from increased pressure in the duodenum;
• if a pathologist is found in the gatekeeper;
• , some operations may have effects in the form of reflux, especially if they have been associated with the organs of the digestive system.

All these moments can provoke the development of the disease. Treatment of gastritis reflux is not only a diet, it requires a comprehensive approach. To properly identify it, the doctor appoints a series of tests. After all, the success of treatment directly depends not only on the characteristics of the disease, but also on the reasons that caused it.

• Ranitidine and Omeprazole - help control the production of gastric juice;
• De-Nol and Venter - have an enveloping effect on the mucous surfaces of the stomach, because of which the irritating factors can not cause such damage as it was before;
• Amoxiclav - this medication is prescribed in the event that the onset of the disease results from infection, since it is antibacterial;

6 Additional help

When gastritis is manifested, treatment is complex. Therefore, doctors often prescribe to their patients physiotherapy. It goes as an addition to the basic treatment. But here it is worthwhile to know that such procedures are only permissible in the stage of remission and if the patient does not have ulcers and especially tumors.

For patients with erosive reflux gastritis, the help consists in the passage of electrophoresis and phonophoresis.

These procedures take care of damaged mucous membranes. On average, the duration of physiotherapy takes 2 weeks, but this is with a noticeable improvement in the state of the stomach.

Reflux can also be removed by surgery. The operation is necessary in those cases when the patient has a neoplasm in the organs of the digestive system. Also, this method is used in case of apparent pyloric insufficiency, in the presence of deep erosions and ulcers, which provoke severe blood loss. Such problems can even cost the patient's life. Therefore, if the doctor offers surgery, then it is necessary to agree to this.
