Gastritis & Ulcers Treatment in Jaipur

Gastritis & Ulcer Care at SKG Medihub

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, while peptic ulcers are open sores that may develop in the stomach or the first part of the small intestine. These conditions may cause burning upper abdominal pain, acidity, nausea, bloating, early fullness, vomiting or digestive bleeding.

At SKG Medihub, Pratap Nagar, Jaipur, gastritis and ulcer-related symptoms are evaluated under the guidance of Dr. Akhil Gupta. Care focuses on identifying the underlying cause, including Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection, painkiller use, alcohol, tobacco, reflux, dietary triggers and associated medical conditions.

Treatment is personalised according to symptom severity, medicine history, test results and warning signs. The goal is to relieve pain, promote healing, prevent bleeding and reduce the risk of recurrence.

What Is Gastritis?

Gastritis occurs when the protective lining of the stomach becomes irritated or inflamed. It may develop suddenly or persist over a longer period. Some patients have mild symptoms, while others may develop ulcers, anemia or bleeding.

What Is a Peptic Ulcer?

A peptic ulcer is a sore in the lining of the stomach or duodenum. Stomach ulcers are called gastric ulcers, while ulcers in the duodenum are called duodenal ulcers.

Common Causes and Risk Factors

• Helicobacter pylori infection
• Frequent or prolonged use of NSAID painkillers
• Smoking and tobacco use
• Excess alcohol consumption
• Previous history of ulcer disease
• Severe physical illness or physiological stress
• Autoimmune gastritis
• Selected medicines that irritate the stomach
• Irregular meals and personal food triggers
• Older age or associated medical conditions

H. pylori Infection

H. pylori is a bacterium that can infect the stomach lining and increase the risk of gastritis, peptic ulcers and selected long-term stomach complications. Testing may be recommended according to symptoms, ulcer history and previous treatment.

Painkillers and Ulcer Risk

Medicines such as ibuprofen, diclofenac, naproxen and other NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining and increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding, especially when used frequently, in higher doses or together with selected medicines.

Common Symptoms

• Burning or gnawing pain in the upper abdomen
• Acidity or heartburn
• Indigestion
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Bloating and frequent burping
• Early fullness after meals
• Loss of appetite
• Unexplained weight loss
• Fatigue or weakness from anemia

Warning Signs of Bleeding or Complications

• Vomiting blood
• Vomiting dark material resembling coffee grounds
• Black or tarry stools
• Fresh blood in stool
• Sudden severe abdominal pain
• Dizziness or fainting
• Persistent vomiting
• Rapid weakness or breathlessness
• Severe abdominal tenderness

How Are Gastritis and Ulcers Diagnosed?

Diagnosis begins with a detailed symptom review, abdominal examination, medicine history, diet review and assessment for bleeding, anemia, weight loss or other alarm signs.

• Medical history and physical examination
• Review of painkiller and medicine use
• Alcohol and tobacco history
• Assessment of meal-related symptoms
• Evaluation for anemia or digestive bleeding
• Review of previous endoscopy or H. pylori treatment

Tests That May Be Recommended

• Complete Blood Count
• H. pylori stool antigen testing
• Urea breath testing when appropriate
• Stool occult blood testing
• Liver and kidney function tests
• Blood sugar and other routine investigations
• Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy when indicated
• Biopsy during endoscopy for selected findings

Upper GI Endoscopy

Endoscopy allows direct examination of the food pipe, stomach and duodenum. It may be recommended for persistent symptoms, bleeding, anemia, weight loss, swallowing difficulty, recurrent vomiting or other warning signs.

Treatment Options

• Acid-suppressing medicines such as proton pump inhibitors when indicated
• H2-receptor blockers in selected cases
• H. pylori eradication treatment when infection is confirmed
• Medicines that help protect the stomach lining
• Review and reduction of ulcer-causing painkillers
• Treatment of anemia or dehydration when present
• Diet and lifestyle modification
• Endoscopy referral or hospital care for complicated ulcers

H. pylori Treatment

H. pylori treatment generally uses a combination of acid suppression and antibiotics. The exact regimen depends on clinical history, previous antibiotic use, allergies and local treatment considerations. Completing the full course is important.

Confirming H. pylori Eradication

Follow-up testing may be advised after treatment to confirm that the infection has cleared. The timing of testing and temporary medicine adjustments should be discussed with the treating physician.
