5. Radiation Exposure
Each year there are millions of individuals that are exposed to ionizing radiation. This may be in the form of interventional or diagnostic radiotherapy and radiology. Additionally, radiological and nuclear disasters pose threats to individuals throughout the world. People who undergo radiation therapy as a treatment for another health issue may experience radiation gastritis as a result. The radiation that a person receives as treatment can cause damage to the lining of the stomach.
When this occurs, the individual may start to have symptoms of gastritis. If you have undergone radiation treatment or have been exposed to radiation and suffer from the symptoms of gastritis, it is important to discuss it with your doctor. There are many treatments available that can help alleviate some of the symptoms that you are suffering from and your medical professional will be able to help you find the right one for your situation.
