Related medical information

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. It may be associated with Helicobacter pylori infection, certain medicines or other causes, but not every episode of upper abdominal discomfort is gastritis.

Assessment may include tests when medically indicated. Vomiting blood, black stools or severe ongoing abdominal pain are warning signs that require urgent medical attention.
