Treatment of colitis in Nikolaev

Colitis is a disease of inflammatory nature, in which the mucosa of the large intestine is affected. The most common cause of this pathology is a bacterial infection, helminthiasis, as well as the aggressive action of certain medications, an unbalanced diet and stress. Chronic colitis is often involved in the overall inflammatory process of the digestive tract (pancreatitis, gastritis, etc.).

According to the nature of the changes that colitis induces in the mucosa, it is classified into the following basic types:

• ulcerative colitis or nonspecific ulcerative colitis - autoimmune inflammation which leads to the appearance of ulcers;
• radiation colitis - damage to mucous vessels during radiotherapy, with the formation of tissue erosion;
• ischemic colitis - death of the epithelium of the membrane due to a violation of blood supply in the gut.

Symptoms of colitis of the intestine depend on the type and phase of the disease course. Acute colitis is characterized by severe pain, stool disorder and the presence of blood-tinged discharge in the feces. Chronic colitis manifests with constant aching pain (particularly before meals or defecation), frequent urge to evacuation, bloating, eructation and a bitter taste in the mouth.
