The antrum forms the upper curvature of the stomach. Since it is often not in contact with the buffering effects of food contact , digestive juices often causes gastric irritaion (gastritis) with redness, and possible bleeding or erosion/ulcers at this point.
The antrum is one region of the stomach. Erosion refers to thinning of the lining of the stomach, creating irritation and inflammation. If untreated, erosion of the stomach lining can lead not only to gastritis but also to ulcers.
Gastritis is inflammation of the stomach lining, and erosive means the upper layers of the lining are missing. The antrum is a part of the stomach, specifically the upper part closest to the esophagus.
The antrum is the end of the stomach near where it connects to the intestines.
- itis means it is inflammed.
Erosive means that part of the lining is eaten away by acid.
Basically, it means that part of the stomach is being injured by too much acid.
Wow, some medical diagnoses are a mouthful (forgive the pun)! So let's break it down (second pun).
- Erythema = redness
- erosions = abrasions, irritation, places that can be seen to be less thick than normal stomach lining
- in the antrum = a natural cavity, here the stomach most likely
- compatible with = in line with; indicative of
- erosive = some action or irritant that has caused an area to erode
- gastritis = inflammation of the stomach lining
So, the test report could have said (if doctors used layman's language):
The patient has redness and spots of irritation and places rubbed thin in the stomach that appear most similar to some type of irritant that has caused the stomach lining to be inflamed and be having ouchies.
Doctors cannot always say what irritant is causing this, but it is either what is being ingested or what's being ingested that is also being vomited.
