Stomach disorders encompass various conditions that affect the stomach, a crucial part of the digestive system. These issues can cause uncomfortable symptoms, ranging from abdominal pain to digestive disturbances. Understanding stomach disorders helps you identify and seek timely treatment.

1. Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining, often caused by H. pylori bacteria, alcohol abuse, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
2. Stomach Ulcers: Sores on the stomach lining, usually caused by bacteria or pain-relieving medications.
3. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A condition where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, causing discomfort and heartburn.
4. Stomach Tumors: Can be benign or malignant, requiring early diagnosis and treatment.

• Infection: H. pylori is the most common cause.
• Unhealthy Lifestyle: Poor diet, excessive alcohol and coffee consumption, and smoking.
• Stress: Can increase stomach acid production.
• Medication Use: NSAIDs can lead to inflammation and ulcers.

Common symptoms include:

• Abdominal pain
