What is an ulcer. Symptoms of the disease

Very often the cause of gastrointestinal pain is the ulcerative process that occurs in them. The ulcer, the symptoms of which depend on the location of the defect, behaves differently in different parts of the digestive tube. That is why all the clinical manifestations that gastroenterologists can observe in their patients-ulcers are very diverse and depend on the phase of the current that is currently taking place.

Still, the symptoms of peptic ulcer can be generalized to syndromal complexes in some way: painful, dyspeptic, local changes, asthenovegetative and a complex of complications.

Stomach ulcer

Gastric ulcer, the symptoms of which are pronounced, localized in the walls of this organ. Her favorite place of defeat is a small curvature. During an exacerbation, a characteristic symptom is pain, which has a clear rhythm. It appears either immediately after ingestion of food in the stomach, or some time after this. The greatest likelihood of the onset of a painful attack is caused by various kinds of inaccuracies in the use of food. If the pain becomes similar to the shroud, then most likely the ulcer, the symptoms of which in this case are even more pronounced, sprouted into the tissues of the pancreas. In addition to pain, patients have complaints of vomiting, a feeling of overflow, raspiraniya, tk. All gastric contents are poorly evacuated from this organ. An obstacle to evacuation is a complication such as stenosis of the pyloric, or pylorus. Patients often suffer from heartburn and belch rotten. With a strong food delay, it can begin to decompose in the stomach itself, and then the patients get an unpleasant, musty smell from the mouth. Many gastric defects are prone to rapid and progressive malignancy, i.e. Transition them in onkoprotsess. Bleeding erosions and ulcers - a very common phenomenon with peptic ulcer.

Ulcerative Bowel Disease

Symptoms of bowel ulcers differ from the pattern that occurs in stomach ulcers in that pain occurs more in the nighttime. They are also called "hungry". Defeat more often can be found in the bulb duodenum, on its back wall. As a rule, such an ulcer, the symptoms of which are also seasonal, never get malignant. Seasonality means that intestinal ulcers are more aggravated during the demi-seasonal periods of the year. Vomiting that accompanies the defect of the duodenum has a specific specificity. It occurs mostly at the height of the pain syndrome, bringing some relief to the patients. During the exacerbation of the disease, the psycho-emotional sphere is sharply expressed in patients. They are very vulnerable, quick-tempered, irritated by trifles, tearful. Ulcers of the duodenum are very prone to complications in the form of sprouting into neighboring organs, perforation and profuse bleeding. When intestinal ulcers very often because of the increased level of acidity, heartburn occurs. The eructation in this case has a more acidic taste. Because of the high acidity of patients, constipation is often abused.

A very effective method of diagnosing all ulcerative defects is fibrogastroduodenoscopy. It helps to establish not only the location of the hearth, but also to accurately know its size, depth, fully characterize the mucosa. On the x-ray, which is carried out using a barium suspension, a niche is visible, which is the ulcer itself. On the X-ray, you can also see a large, overstretched stomach with a liquid level when there is stenosis of the gatekeeper.

Treatment will depend on the stage of the process, as well as on the presence of complications.
