In modern times, human health is subject to danger from a variety of dangerous and harmful factors. And quite often the disease occurs not only because of the impact of the environment, but also due to the launch of the pathogenic mechanism directly in the internal organs. It is just such a current disease, which can manifest itself for a variety of reasons, chronic gastritis.
The urgency of chronic gastritis today is higher than ever. But before you deal with the factors of its occurrence, it should be said that in itself it represents a process of inflammation of the mucous structure of the stomach that takes place for a long time. Moreover, this deviation is accompanied by almost irreversible changes.
Background of occurrence of chronic disease
The manifestation of chronic gastritis is due to exogenous and endogenous factors. The first group includes:
- Poor nutrition is the most urgent problem today. Low-quality food, and even on the run, nothing positive for the health of the stomach does not promise.
- Also to number of actual problems of the present it is possible to carry smoking and abuse of hot drinks.
- Admission of certain types of medications.
- Carcinogens that enter the body due to the professional detail of the patient.
- Infection.
- Parasites.
The second group is considered to be hereditary in combination with other gastrointestinal diseases.
Chronic gastritis: statistics
Unfortunately, as studies and actual statistics show, this disease has the ability to affect not only the elderly, but also young people. Moreover, the "rejuvenation" of patients is recorded annually. Today even teenagers are not insured against this pathology. And the most terrible thing is that atrophic gastritis( which is a harbinger of stomach cancer) is fixed by statistics in people under thirty in five percent of cases, and at the age of thirty one to fifty years - already at thirty percent.
If, however, the disease has overtaken you, then do not despair and delay treatment in the long box. It is necessary as soon as possible to pay a visit to a medical institution and get help, so that chronic gastritis is not subsequently transformed into an ulcer, which is much more serious and dangerous.
