Overview

What gastritis and stomach ulcers actually are

Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining; a peptic ulcer is the next stage, where the lining has broken down into an open sore. Both get labelled "gastric problem" or "acidity" — a fair description, but not a diagnosis. The same burning pain can come from H. pylori infection, painkillers, alcohol, bile reflux or an autoimmune process, each needing different treatment, which is why long-term antacid use often stops working.

Gastritis & Ulcer treatment in KPHB at our clinic begins with identifying the cause before anything is prescribed — left untreated, it can progress to bleeding or, in long-standing H. pylori infection, a higher risk of stomach cancer.

Symptoms

Signs that should bring you in

Occasional acidity after a heavy meal is normal. Symptoms that repeat weekly, wake you at night, or need daily medication are not — those are worth a consultation.

Burning stomach pain, a common symptom of gastritis

Burning stomach pain

Upper abdominal burning or gnawing, often worse on an empty stomach or at night.

Persistent acidity and reflux symptom of gastritis

Persistent acidity

Reflux and sour taste that keeps returning once antacids are stopped.

Nausea and vomiting symptom of gastritis

Nausea and vomiting

Feeling sick after meals, sometimes with vomiting of undigested food.

Bloating and early fullness symptom of gastritis

Bloating and early fullness

Feeling full after only a few bites, with gas and belching.

Loss of appetite and weight loss symptom of gastritis

Loss of appetite

Avoiding food because eating triggers pain, often with weight loss.

Dark or bloody stools, a symptom needing urgent assessment

Dark or bloody stools

Black, tarry motions suggesting bleeding — needs urgent assessment.

Causes

Why gastritis and ulcers develop

Identifying which of these applies to you is the whole point of the first consultation.

H. pylori infection causing gastritis and stomach ulcers

H. pylori infection

The single most common cause of chronic gastritis and duodenal ulcers in India. It is curable with a defined antibiotic course, followed by a repeat test to confirm complete eradication.

Painkiller and NSAID overuse irritating the stomach lining

Painkillers (NSAIDs)

Regular use of pain and anti-inflammatory tablets for joint or back pain erodes the stomach lining. Often the cause in patients who take them without a prescription.

Alcohol and smoking as a cause of gastritis

Alcohol and smoking

Both increase acid output and weaken the protective mucus layer. Alcohol-related gastritis frequently coexists with liver disease, which we assess together.

Irregular meals and stress affecting digestion

Irregular meals and stress

Long gaps between meals, late dinners and night-shift work are common triggers in working patients across Kukatpally and KPHB.

Bile reflux affecting the stomach lining

Bile reflux

Bile flowing back into the stomach, sometimes after gallbladder surgery. Needs a different prescription from standard acid suppression.

Autoimmune gastritis, the body's immune system affecting the stomach lining

Autoimmune gastritis

Less common, but important — the body attacks its own stomach lining, causing B12 deficiency and anaemia alongside the gastric symptoms.

Diagnosis

How your gastritis is diagnosed here

A fixed sequence, in this order — each step decides whether the next one is needed.

Consultation and history

Your symptoms, diet, alcohol intake and current medications — often enough to identify the cause.

H. pylori testing

Breath, stool or biopsy-based test to confirm infection before treatment starts.

Upper GI endoscopy

A same-day camera examination of the food pipe, stomach and duodenum, done in-house.

Biopsy when indicated

A painless tissue sample during the same endoscopy to rule out malignancy.

Supporting blood tests

Haemoglobin, B12 and liver function tests where relevant to your symptoms.

Treatment

Gastritis and ulcer treatment options

Acid-suppressing medication for gastritis and reflux

Acid-suppressing medication

Proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers for a defined period to let the lining heal — prescribed as a course with a review date, not as something you take indefinitely.

H. pylori eradication therapy for gastritis and ulcers

H. pylori eradication therapy

A combination antibiotic regimen taken exactly as prescribed, followed by a confirmatory test weeks later. Clearing the infection is what prevents the ulcer coming back.

Diet and lifestyle correction for gastritis healing

Diet and lifestyle correction

Meal timing, trigger foods, alcohol and smoking. Written guidance you can follow — not a vague instruction to "eat light".

Endoscopic treatment for bleeding ulcers

Endoscopic treatment for bleeding ulcers

Bleeding points can be controlled during endoscopy using clips, injection or thermal therapy — avoiding surgery in the majority of cases.

Endoscopic procedure to review and confirm ulcer healing at Gokul Gastro & Liver Care, KPHB

Review and repeat endoscopy

Gastric ulcers are re-scoped after healing to confirm the ulcer has closed and the biopsy was benign. This step is often skipped elsewhere.

Medication review consultation at Gokul Gastro & Liver Care

Medication review

Where painkillers are the cause, we work with safer alternatives and add gastric protection so your joint pain treatment does not restart the ulcer.

FAQs

Gastritis & Ulcer treatment in KPHB — common questions

How long does gastritis take to heal?
Acute gastritis usually settles within 2 to 4 weeks of correct treatment. An H. pylori infection needs a 10 to 14 day antibiotic course, with a confirmatory test around four weeks after finishing. Gastric ulcers take 6 to 8 weeks to close and are re-scoped to confirm healing. Chronic gastritis driven by alcohol or painkillers only settles once that trigger stops.
Can gastritis be cured permanently, or does it always come back?
It depends on the cause. H. pylori gastritis is curable — once the infection is eradicated and confirmed cleared, recurrence is uncommon. Gastritis from painkillers or alcohol resolves when the trigger is removed. What does keep returning is gastritis treated with antacids alone while the underlying cause is never identified, which is the most common reason patients have been managing "gastric problems" for years.
Is endoscopy painful?
No. The throat is numbed with a local spray, and light sedation is available if you prefer. Most patients find the anticipation worse than the procedure, which takes only a few minutes. You come fasting, and you go home the same day.
Do I need to fast before an endoscopy?
Yes — no food for at least 6 hours and no water for 2 hours before the procedure. When you book on WhatsApp we confirm the exact timing, and you can take essential morning medications with a small sip of water unless told otherwise.
Is H. pylori contagious? Should my family be tested?
H. pylori spreads through contaminated food, water and shared utensils, so it often runs in households. Routine testing of everyone is not necessary, but family members with similar symptoms should be assessed, and we advise on this during your consultation.
What does gastritis & ulcer treatment in KPHB cost?
The first consultation covers the assessment and any prescription. Tests such as H. pylori breath testing or an upper GI endoscopy are charged separately, and the current fee for each is confirmed at reception or on WhatsApp before you commit to anything. Nothing is added without telling you first.

Stop managing it. Get it diagnosed.

If you have been on antacids for months, one consultation can tell you why. Book gastritis & ulcer treatment in KPHB with Dr. Viswanath Kamisetty.
