ESOPHAGEAL & STOMACH DISORDERS

Gastritis

Comprehensive Care for Esophageal & Stomach Disorders

The esophagus (food pipe) and stomach are essential parts of the digestive system, helping transport, digest, and process food. Disorders affecting these organs can cause symptoms such as heartburn, acidity, upper abdominal pain, indigestion, nausea, vomiting, difficulty swallowing, or gastrointestinal bleeding. While many conditions are easily treatable, persistent symptoms should never be ignored, as they may indicate a more serious underlying disease. Dr. Dipankar Das provides comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for a wide range of esophageal and stomach disorders using advanced diagnostic endoscopy, modern imaging techniques, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

What is Gastritis?

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining. It may develop suddenly (acute gastritis) or gradually over time (chronic gastritis). Common causes include Helicobacter pylori infection, prolonged use of pain-relieving medications (NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption, stress, autoimmune disorders, and certain infections.
