It is not for nothing that this species has a second name - ulcerative. When a patient is diagnosed with this condition, treatment should be started immediately to avoid unpleasant consequences.

But it should be remembered that the correct diagnosis and effective treatment of such a disease as gastritis are possible only in a hospital and under the supervision of an experienced specialist.

Due to the fact that there are several varieties of gastritis and its symptoms are similar, it is difficult to make correct conclusions about the nature, form and course of the disease on one examination of the patient. A carefully collected anamnesis and a compulsory diagnostic study are needed.

The main method for correctly diagnosing this disease is FGDS( fibrogastroduodenoendoscopy), which makes it possible to distinguish gastritis from a diagnosis such as an ulcer.
