Brief Answer:
it is gastritis. meet your gp

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX, thanks for the follow up question.

If all answers are in no then you have milder form of gastritis. Increased frequency of urinating is significant if there is burning sensation during micturition. Else it is not a cause of concerns.

Gastritis will require a dose of antacids for few days. Please visit your GP and get it prescribed.

I hope my reply will help you. Please write to us for more questions. I wish you good health. Thanks again
