When should I see my doctor if I have gastritis?

If the cause of your symptoms isn’t clear or if your symptoms are severe and fail to subside after a few days, a trip to your doctor may be necessary to help make a diagnosis.

An endoscopy can be carried out to detect inflammation in the stomach. A blood, breath or stool test may also be required to investigate if the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori) are present.
