Understanding Inflamed Gastric Antrum: Causes & Treatment

Question
I had an abdominal cat scan done and the results showed inflammed gastric antrum.
What is it and what does it mean?
COud it be an ulcer ?

Thanks  

Answer
Yes, that sounds exactly like an ulcer.  I assume the doctor who ordered the testing put you on an anti-ulcer medication, such as an H2 blocker like Zantac or a PPI like Nexium, Prilosec, Protonix, Aciphex, Prevacid.

The gastric Antrum is the place where an ulcer would typically develop.  The non-drug therapies would be lots of maalox also, stop smoking if  you do, and decrease or stop alcohol if you drink.

Hope this helps...
