Introduction: Gastritis Is More Common Than You Think
Gastritis occurs when the lining of your stomach becomes inflamed.
Millions of people experience burning pain, acidity, and indigestion, but very few understand that these symptoms could be early warning signs of chronic gastritis.
If left untreated, gastritis can lead to ulcers, bleeding, and even stomach cancer.
At BariOSS Clinic, Tirunelveli, Dr. Christopher S.K. provides advanced diagnostic endoscopy and expert treatment for all types of gastritis.
