Any form of gastritis is dangerous and needs timely and proper treatment. This is especially true for erosive gastritis, otherwise called bulbitis, and occurs quite often.
It is dangerous because it has well-defined foci of erosion and affects the upper parts of the duodenum in addition to the gastric mucosa. If you ignore the symptoms of this disease from the beginning, it can easily lead to an ulcer. And this disease is almost incurable and can lead to death.
What are the symptoms of this form of the disease?
Among the most common causes of the appearance of bulbites are such as long-term use of medications irritating the mucous membrane, alcoholic intoksatsiya, arising from excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages, unbalanced nutrition, frequent stressful situations and unfavorable working conditions.
Symptoms of erosive gastritis are often quite severe and develop very quickly. In order for the main symptoms to appear, bulbite symptoms are only a few hours after the irritating effect on the mucosa.
Since erosive gastritis resembles a peptic ulcer, the complaints of patients are similar. The person has an unpleasant, with an acidic tinge, taste in the mouth, heartburn, nausea, often accompanied by vomiting, heaviness in the abdomen.
But not always such a symptomatology manifests itself quite clearly, often the onset of the acute stage of the disease proceeds almost imperceptibly and is ignored by the person. Pain sensations in the epigastric region occur on the "hungry" stomach, and after eating completely pass, and therefore do not cause special concern.
This is very dangerous, as it facilitates the transition of erosive gastritis to a chronic( hemorrhagic) form. Its signs are already more pronounced. Bloating, acidic eructations, vomiting and indigestion occur.
The pain in the stomach increases, and the temperature with erosive gastritis is always increased. But the biggest alarm should be caused by such a symptom as the presence of bloody discharge in the vomit and feces, which indicates the appearance of erosion in the digestive department.
There are also external signs of chronic bulbit, especially when it is started. The appetite disappears from the person, he begins to lose weight, the condition of the nails, skin and hair deteriorates considerably, apathy and constant severe fatigue occur. And when a laboratory study reveals changes in blood biochemistry.

As soon as the first signs of the disease are seen, a gastroenterologist should be examined. Only he can accurately determine in what form and stage of development the disease is, and, accordingly, prescribe an effective and adequate treatment.
After this disease is diagnosed, the patient is placed in a hospital environment, as all necessary procedures and examinations should be carried out under the close supervision of the attending physician so that he can at any time monitor the symptoms and, if necessary, make adjustments to the appointment schedule.
