Gastritis
Gastritis causes irritation, enlargement, and pain in the stomach lining. The condition occurs in the short term and comes on quickly. This is mostly because of a bacterial infection, like Helicobacter pylori bacteria.
Chronic gastritis can be caused by some conditions, such as:
- Crohn’s disease [4]
- Autoimmune diseases
- Sarcoidosis [5]
- Allergies
- Viruses in people with compromised immune systems
Your doctor may prescribe antibiotics to help treat bacterial infections that can lead to gastritis. To treat chronic gastritis, you must first acknowledge the underlying disease. In most cases, you may be divided to consume less acidic foods or use drugs that can help reduce medication. Pain relievers can also help with symptoms. Drugs that protect the stomach lining can stop the symptoms from worsening.
Appendicitis
Appendicitis, an infection of the appendix, is a medical condition that causes the appendix to rupture. If it is not treated on time, it can become a life-threatening condition.
In the initial stages of appendicitis, you may experience a dull ache around your belly button. After a while, the pain spreads to the upper stomach. As the condition progresses, the pain moves to the lower-right side. In most cases, a doctor treats appendicitis by removing the appendix.
