It can also be said that the external causes of the formation of acute gastritis include the use of coffee and tobacco products .However, there is no unequivocal opinion here. Among all patients, approximately 69% of those who consumed coffee and 48% of those who consumed tobacco became ill with an acute form of gastritis.
No less significant and becomes alcohol , as the cause of exacerbation of acute gastritis. Particular attention should be paid to alcohol, in which the alcohol content is more than 20 percent. Such beverages can be safely referred to: vodka, cognac, whiskey and others. Alcohol dries out the mucous membrane of the stomach and the whole gastrointestinal tract, and therefore, such bacteria as Helicobacter have great chances to start acting on the body.
To external factors, it is possible to attribute also the spoiled products of .Products that have already succumbed to the effects of microbes and bacteria - it undermines not only the defense of your stomach, but also greatly affects the body as a whole.
Separately, should be taken out of foreign objects that enter the esophagus .For example, the cause of destruction of the gastric mucosa may be the receipt of chemicals from household products. Or as a result of a professional injury received in the chemical or radiation industry. Concentrated chemicals cause abundant destruction and corrosive formation of the mucous membrane, in the future these disruptions grow into dead cells of the walls of the stomach and intestinal tract as a whole. Naturally, the degree of destruction depends on the dose, which managed to penetrate the stomach, however, even the smallest volumes of the concentrated mixture cause an exacerbation of gastritis.
The most important cause, which is 90% of the total volume of patients, is the bacterium Helicobacter pylori .The bacterium causes serious complications, which end not only acute, but also cause ulcers and cancer.
The next form is endogenous exacerbations of gastritis. This form is the result of the of inflammatory processes of that occur in the patient's stomach. The danger of acute gastritis can be increased if the patient's body suffers from another disease that may not even concern the gastrointestinal tract. For example, measles, influenza, pneumonia and other viral diseases. Weakening of the whole organism in the course of the disease weakens, in particular, the mucous membrane of the stomach, which means that the causes of the appearance of acute gastritis increase.
The most complicated form of internal gastritis is phlegmonous gastritis. Its aggravation is most often associated with the appearance of hemolytic streptococcus .In some cases, the cause is the manifestation of Staphylococcus aureus or Escherichia coli. However, in both cases, the stomach experiences strong damaging effects, and recovering from this is very difficult. The joint course of several diseases is considered very damaging to the immune system, and hence to the patient's stomach.
The danger of reflux gastritis is that there is a violation not only of the mucous membrane, but also the walls of the stomach itself. And in the event that foreign bodies enter the stomach, which scratch or destroy the integrity of the walls, the formation of purulent infections is possible.
Also, for internal reasons, include gastritis, which is caused by allergic reaction .By itself, the stomach, is also an organ that is sensitive to allergies. In this case, the usual food products become irritants, for example, strawberries. The manifestation of the allergic becomes the consequence of manifestation and other symptoms: edema, the manifestation of asthma.
Each of the above listed species is considered dangerous for the body, independent treatment in this case is contraindicated!
