Culling ulcer: causes, diagnosis, treatment, operation

Callous ulcer or callous is a pathological condition of the gastric mucosa that outwardly resembles a large hole 3-4 cm in depth. It is one of the most common and dangerous diseases of the stomach and intestines. The callous ulcer has a smooth bottom of light color, there are seals along the edges. By external signs is very similar to malignant education. It is not uncommon for an ulcer to penetrate deep into the organ with which it touches. Therefore, its bottom can serve as an adjoining organ, for example, the liver. This manifestation of the disease makes an osmolar ulcer similar to penetrating (penetrating).

Cough and penetrative ulcer: similarities and differences

On the wall of the stomach formed ulcerous wound with dense margins, due to the process of scarring. Often even after the appearance of scars, the ulcer continues to progress. Penetrating or penetrating type of the disease occurs with possible bleeding, while spreading to adjacent organs. Large gastric ulcers proceed as callous and simultaneously penetrating, with pronounced pain syndrome. When diagnosing a disease, it is necessary to take into account the fact that two seemingly different diseases can proceed as one. Therefore, the patient is assigned a comprehensive comprehensive study to confirm the diagnosis.

Causes of callous ulcers

Callous ulcers can occur for the following reasons:

• Unstable work of the nervous system, causing an increase in acidity.
• Infectious or purulent diseases.
• Deficiency of nutrition, prolonged fasting. Because of the long absence of food, the secreted gastric juice eats the walls of the stomach.
• Ingestion into the stomach cavity of potent chemicals causing severe poisoning. Dangerous substances, getting into the body, cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Even a small amount of chemicals, in contact with the walls of the stomach, corrodes its epithelium, leading to deep ulcers. Scarring of the affected tissue can take place for a long time or does not occur at all.
• Defeat the body with Helicobacter pylori infection. Reacting with gastric juice, bacteria secrete ammonia, which very strongly corrodes the walls of the body.
• Excessive and uncontrolled use of anti-inflammatory drugs. For example, "Aspirin" does not allow cells to recover and leads to the formation of non-healing ulcers.

The formation of ulcers begins with the fact that hydrochloric acid, produced by the stomach itself, because of the mucous membrane begins to destroy the cell membrane. After the destruction of the cells of the mucosa, the queue is submucosal. According to research of scientists, in 40% of cases, callous ulcer of the rectum and stomach develops under the influence of Helicobacter pylori bacteria, which are able to survive in hydrochloric acid.

Diagnosis of the disease

To establish the correct diagnosis, the patient is assigned a comprehensive examination and the delivery of tests. The patient is assigned to carry out all necessary diagnostic procedures, such as:

• Radiography.
• Magnetic resonance imaging.
• Biopsy (to exclude malignant formations).
• Fibrogastroduodenoscopy.

The results of the research allow the treating physician to prescribe effective treatment.

Gastric ulcer: symptoms and treatment

Symptoms are most often caused by eating. As a rule, a few minutes after a snack, there may be a piercing-cutting pain in the abdominal region, sometimes pain gives to the spine. There are cases when the disease was completely asymptomatic and only at later stages was detected because of the bleeding that began.

The disease has no seasonal manifestation, so pain can occur at any time. This is due to the fact that the scar is formed on the site of the ulcer, consisting of a connective tissue, and it does not allow to restore the gastric mucosa, causing severe pain attacks.

Callous ulcer is characterized by the following manifestations:

• Strong pain attacks in the stomach and duodenum.
• Anemia.
• Problems with digestion.
• Metabolic disorders.

To reduce the pain after eating, you can use sour-milk products.

This disease can cause other symptoms:

• Intestinal disorders (diarrhea or constipation).
• Constant nausea.
• Sour eructation.
• Increased gas formation.
• Heartburn.

Operation to eliminate progressive ulcer

Cullious ulcer of the stomach is treated only surgically. The affected tissue is treated with a special laser, thus causing cell regeneration. Also during the operation, it is possible to suture the ulcer, its excision based on the indications. Next, the patient is assigned a complex medication, aimed at restoring the functions of the stomach and intestines. For the treatment of drugs used to promote rapid regeneration of damaged areas.

The operation is carried out because the probability of degeneration of the ulcer is high in cancer. As a rule, in 95-98% of cases, a positive result is achieved after surgery.

Diet for crawl ulcers

To prevent a relapse of the development of the disease or to prevent an attack, it is necessary to adhere to a certain diet. It is necessary to exclude from the diet:

• Any semi-finished products.
• Smoked products.
• Sweet.
• Flour.
• Sharp and salty dishes.
• Canned food.

In the presence of the disease, even if it is in remission, it is recommended to eat:

• Milk and dairy products.
• Kashi.
• Low-fat soups and soups.
• Meat, steamed.
• Sea fish.
• Vegetables, except for cabbage.

If you follow the recommendations of a doctor, the timely use of medicines and the use of useful foods, you can achieve a long-term remission, especially in the early stages of the disease.

Prevention of the development of the disease

To avoid relapse, the patient should strictly adhere to certain rules:

• To adhere to the appointed diet.
• Refuse from addictions (smoking)
• Refuse to drink alcohol.
• Avoid stressful situations.
• To consume vegetable sedatives.
• Normalize the sleep mode.

If a person first experiences pain in the area of the stomach or intestines, in no case should self-medication be used to prevent the development of chronic diseases. If you suspect a gastrointestinal disease, you need to see a doctor for the necessary tests. When diagnosing a "stomach ulcer", the symptoms and treatment will differ depending on the particular type of disease.
