Treatment of enteritis in Nikolaev

Enteritis is an inflammatory process in the mucosa of the small intestine. Such a pathology leads to a disorder of motility and absorption of nutrients, and the progression of the disease can cause a mucosal dystrophy of the gut. Ignoring enteritis is fraught with serious complications: violation of secretion of intestinal juice, perforation of the wall of the small intestine. But competent and timely treatment enables to eliminate completely the symptoms of the disease and prevent its relapse.

Causes and symptoms of enteritis

Enteritis can often occur against a background of gastritis and/or colitis. And the main causes of inflammation in the small intestine include the following:

• viral or bacterial intestinal infections (e.g., salmonella);
• aggressive action of certain drugs, intoxication;
• helminthiasis;
• radiotherapy;
• frequent overeating and unhealthy diet (fatty, spicy food);
• food allergy, etc.

Gastroenterologists distinguish the course of the disease in the acute and chronic phase. Acute enteritis is accompanied by a strong and severe manifestation of symptoms, while chronic forms are the result of improper treatment of the acute phase or its absence. Chronic enteritis often accompanies other disorders of the enzyme system of the gastrointestinal tract, for example, pancreatitis or cholecystitis.

Symptoms of acute enteritis are as follows:

• diarrhea;
• vomiting;
• swelling and pain in the navel area;
• loss of weight;
