Treatment of duodenitis in Nikolaev

Duodenitis is a gastroenterological disease in which the mucous membrane of the duodenum is inflamed. The consequence of such inflammation is a disorder of digestion and absorption of food, the synthesis of hormones and harmonious metabolism. This is a common inflammatory disease of the digestive tract (94% of cases), which is successfully treated with timely diagnostics and competent therapy. Ignoring its signs can lead to serious complications, including perforation of the intestinal wall, internal bleeding and acute pancreatitis.

Depending on the course of duodenitis, an acute and chronic form of the disease is distinguished. Acute duodenitis responds well to medical treatment and rarely causes complications, but a chronic form can result in atrophy and structural changes in the organ. According to the nature of the changes in the mucous layer of the intestine, the following types are distinguished:

• catarrhal or superficial duodenitis - inflammation of the upper layers of the mucosa, leading to a deficiency in their nutrition and thinning;
• atrophic duodenitis - reduction of the villi of the mucosa and thinning of the tissue, which causes a violation of the intestine secretory function;
• hypertrophic duodenitis - thickening and proliferation of mucosal tissue;
• erosive duodenitis - profound damage to the mucous layer with the emergence of ulcers.

Causes and symptoms of duodenitis

The cause of duodenitis can be irritation of the intestinal mucosa with aggressive chemical agents (toxins, some medications), helminth activity, as well as other diseases of the digestive tract (gastritis, colitis, gastroenteritis, etc.).

Symptoms of chronic duodenitis depend not only on the form of pathology but also on concomitant diseases. However, the primary sign of the development of the disease is a pain. Its localization and nature in combination with digestive disorders (bloating, bowel disorders, vomiting, etc.) indicate an urgent need for advice from a gastroenterologist.

How is duodenitis treated in “ON Clinic”?

Therapy of chronic forms of the disease is complex and depends on the clinical picture. The treatment regimen includes measures to eliminate the cause of the pathology, its consequences, as well as medications for improving digestion and enhancing the protection of the epithelium of the mucosa from the influence of irritation factors.

Treatment of duodenitis, conducted by “ON Clinic” specialists, helps not only restore intestinal health but also prevent the recurrence of the disease. The duration of the course of therapy and medications are selected individually, based on diagnostic data on the current state of the body. Our laboratories are organized in accordance with world standards; you can undergo the examination and obtain its results as soon as possible.

Prevention of the disease and its complications always takes place against the background of changes in lifestyle, diet and eating habits. Diet with duodenitis provides fractional meals (up to 6 times) with the exception of spicy, fried and fatty dishes. Regular examination at the doctor and observance of his recommendations provide a favorable prognosis even in difficult medical cases.
