Gastritis Causes & Risk Factors
Due to weakening of the stomach layer, digestion juice is allowed to increase swelling and damage, which causes gastritis. The weak and thin layer of the stomach increases the risk of 'Gastritis'.
Gastrointestinal Bacterial Infection also causes gastritis. The most common bacterial infection is caused by helicobacter pylori virus. It is a bacterium that infects the stomach layer. This infection can usually spread from person to person, apart from this, the virus can spread through contaminated water and food.
Risk factors that increase the likelihood of gastritis are as follows -
* Stress - There may be severe stress due to any major surgery, injury, burn or severe infection, which can cause acute gastritis.
* Body Attacking cells in Stomach - This is also called immune gastritis. When your body attacks cells that make up the stomach layer, then the gastritis develops. This creates responses in your immune system, which irritates the stomach protective barrier. This disease is quite common among those with autoimmune gastritis Hashimoto's disease and other autoimmune disorders, including Type 1 diabetes. Autoimmune gastritis can also be associated with vitamin B12 deficiency

There are some other situations and activities, which can increase the risk of having gastritis. These include the following.
* High intake of alcohol - Alcohol can hurt the stomach layers, which further increases the chances of damage by digestive juices in the stomach. Consuming excessive alcohol increases the chances of acute gastritis.
* Certain types of medicines - Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs And painkillers (Ibuprofen and Aspirin) Daily intake also increases the risk of gastritis.
