There are a lot of digestive
system diseases and all of them have different
manifestations and consequences. It is very important to see the difference
between them and begin timely treatment in order to avoid undesirable
consequences. Among all of the common digestive system diseases patients
notice different stages - acute or chronic but we will start with the most
frequent.
Allergy:
It is the sensitivity of the body to the
effects of certain environmental factors, called allergens (chemicals, microbes
and their products, food, pollen of some plant species, household dust, animal
wool, medicines, dyes, synthetic materials, etc.). Manifestation of allergies
is purely individual. Often allergic reactions occur with a deficit in the body
of pantothenic acid. Depending on the type of allergen, an appropriate response
develops. So, household allergens cause a runny nose, coughing, choking; food
allergens cause vomiting, diarrhea, hives, fever; Industrial - dermatitis; in
hairdressing and beauty salons dyes cause dermatitis. In some cases, heat,
cold, mechanical stimuli contribute to the formation of certain substances in
the body which become allergens.
Aerophagia with gastrocardiac syndrome:
The ingestion of air with subsequent
eructation (aerophagia) is a pathological conditioned reflex against the background
of neurosis. Air is swallowed while eating, talking, when swallowing saliva.
The pressure inside the stomach rises, after a contraction of the stomach
muscle and relaxation of the cardiac sphincter eructation arises. Symptoms:
frequent empty loud burp without odor, heaviness, raspiranie in the epigastric
region, flatulence, hypersalivation.
Abdominal pain:
It is the most noticeable by undesirable
effects among the rest digestive system diseases and
occurs for many reasons. Sometimes it is insignificant and quickly passes and
in some cases - requires immediate medical intervention. Often, feeling a pain
in the abdomen we think that our stomach hurts. However, quite often it is not
in the stomach - the pain can come from other organs of the abdominal cavity
and even from the chest (pneumonia, myocardial infarction). Knowledge of
manifestations is not a basis for self-treatment. The range of pains emanating
from the abdominal organs is very wide. The reason may simply be the delay of
gases or bile or maybe - the perforation of the hollow organ with the discharge
of the contents (eg, the gut) into the abdominal cavity. At one pain it is
possible to be treated at home independently, at others (for example, at a pain
in a stomach caused by an appendicitis, perforated ulcer of a stomach)
emergency operation is necessary.
Gastritis:
It is an inflammatory disease of the
gastric mucosa. Distinguish between acute and chronic gastritis with increased
or decreased acidity, as well as other types of gastritis. Acute gastritis
develops as a result of taking crude, spicy, fatty, too cold or too hot food,
overeating, alcohol abuse, poisoning. The disease can occur as a result of
ingestion of pathogenic microorganisms into the body with inferior food and
also due to allergies. There are other reasons.
Gastroenterokolitis:
It is one of the polyethological digestive
system diseases characterized by inflammatory changes in
the mucosa of the small and large intestines and associated nervous reflex
disorders of the motor and secretory functions of the intestines. Often the
cause of acute gastroenterocolitis is the consumption of poor-quality or
inappropriatable food. Acute gastroenterocolitis develops against the
background of food poisoning after eating food contaminated with microbes.
Hepatitis chronic:
It is an inflammatory process without
disturbance of the lobule and vascular architectonics of the liver, which lasts
for more than 6 months.
Diarea:
It usually occurs as a result of
irritation of the intestine which accelerates the digestive tract with feces
being withdrawn much more often and even before the fluid is absorbed. In most
cases, the disease occurs as a result of overeating, the use of immature or
overripe fruit, as well as excessive consumption of vegetables in the food.
Alcohol (especially wine or beer) can also trigger an attack of diarrhea. The
disease can cause a viral infection or mild food poisoning. Many people suffer
from diarrhea due to emotional stress, antibiotic treatment that kills the
bacteria necessary for digestion.
Constipation:
Rare defecation (if it is absent for
more than 48 hours) occurring with great difficulty. According to its origin,
constipation can be compensated and subcompensated. It is not as serious as
other digestive system diseases but it
can last for years and cause serious problems.
If you noticed one of these digestive system diseases or you noticed symptoms but you didn’t know that it is a curable problem then call your doctor because problems with gastrointestinal tract can lead to serious illnesses and painful symptoms.
