What are the symptoms of duodenitis?

Very often there is such a disease of the duodenum as duodenitis. It is characterized by inflammatory and dystrophic processes in the mucous membrane, the structure of which varies, in which the glandular apparatus is atrophy.

Varieties

More often affects chronic duodenitis, which is divided into primary and secondary. The primary form is an independent disease, but the secondary one is the continuation of such diseases as pancreatitis, cholecystitis, ulcer, gastritis.

The inflammatory process of the entire intestine is called diffuse duodenitis, and the inflammation of its bulb is called bulbitis.
Local duodenitis is inflammation of the intestinal part of the duodenum. The inflammatory processes of the large papilla, which connects the 12-colon and the gallbladder, are called papillitis. There is rarely a primary chronic form, usually the disease develops against the background of other diseases of the digestive system.

Symptoms of duodenitis

The primary chronic character of the disease appears for the following reasons:

• Love of spicy and sour food;
• Improper diet;
• The food is chewed badly;
• Love of strong tea and coffee;
• Alcohol abuse.

All this has the peculiarity of increasing the acidity of the juice in the stomach, which damages the intestinal mucosa. In rare cases, the primary chronic form of duodenitis is caused by an acute "fellow".

Playing a role in the development of a chronic form of love for nicotine. Tobacco smoke reduces the production of alkaline juice of the duodenal ulcer, which extinguishes acidity, and contributes to the formation of excessively acidic gastric juice.

How and why the symptoms of duodenitis appear and how it is formed is not fully known. According to scientists, the disease occurs because the interaction of hydrochloric acid, gastric juice and alkaline secretion of the intestine is disrupted. The secondary variant of the disease is much more common on the background of stomach diseases.

Symptoms of duodenitis of a secondary nature arise because of:

• Ulcers,
• Infection Helicobacter,
• Gastritis,
• Pancreatitis,
• Colitis,
• Worms,
• Cholecystitis,
• Allergies,
• Diseases of internal organs.

Duodenitis superficial extends only to the upper layer of the mucosa, which swells, its cells become thin, and their nutrition and blood supply are disturbed. If the symptoms of duodenitis are dystrophic processes, and inflammations go all over Of the intestine, even hitting her glands, here we can talk about diffuse duodenitis. The formation of erosions on the mucosa testifies to a variety of disease, like erosive duodenitis.

Treatment of chronic duodenitis

It is very important to follow a specially selected diet. The food should be gentle and do not irritate the mucous chemical compounds. There should be a little - up to five times a day.

Used for the treatment of classes of drugs, such as drugs to strengthen cell regeneration, antacids and drugs to reduce the production of hydrochloric acid, restore gastric motility. In a complex with them physiotherapeutic procedures are carried out, probably visiting of sanatorium on a profile.
