The most common exacerbation of gastroduodenitis occurs in the spring and autumn. Doctors explain this by the fact that at this time of year the humidity of the air rises, to which the body reacts by a decrease in immunity. It is also observed that it is during these periods that hydrochloric acid in the stomach begins to be more actively produced. Therefore, any external or internal stimulus leads to the development of acute gastroduodenitis. Symptoms of it are very bright, but with proper treatment they quickly disappear. In many cases, when a long diet is observed, it is possible to achieve a duration of remission, but for this it is necessary to learn to recognize the first signs of the disease.
Symptoms of gastroduodenitis at the stage of exacerbation of
It is the sudden severe pain that occurs in the epigastric region, and indicates that the exacerbation of gastroduodenitis has begun, its symptoms should cause the patient to seek help from specialists. Do not self-medicate. The pain is of a different nature, at first it resembles a contraction, then it subsides and is felt only by palpation around the navel.
Painful sensations occur only on an empty stomach, during long hungry pauses, and immediately passes after eating. If you do not eat during an attack, there is a shiver throughout the body, the muscles become weak. Appetite does not go away, any food intake leads to appreciable relief, the patient eats well and with pleasure, but the weight all the same leaves, the skin turns pale before the eyes, a noticeable yellow coating appears on the tongue, in which there are traces of teeth in the mornings.
From the mouth constantly there is an unpleasant smell, the eructance has an "aroma" of faded eggs. In the abdomen and in the intestine, something is constantly muttering, bloating is clearly visible. If the exacerbation of gastroduodenitis develops against the background of increased secretion of hydrochloric acid, its excess leads to the formation of vomiting. The contents of the vomit can tell what kind of disease develops. The presence of blood impurities, for example, signals the formation of small ulcers and erosions on the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.
Species of acute gastroduodenitis
Usually exacerbation of gastroduodenitis occurs immediately after receiving strong stimuli, and proceed very hard. In terms of the degree of mucosal damage, several varieties are distinguished:
- Catarrhal gastroduodenitis is the simplest type of lesion, in which the mucous thickens, its puffiness is clearly visible, there is a lot of mucus in the stomach and in the intestine. If endoscopy shows the presence of sores and erosions, erosive gastroduodenitis develops, its symptoms are similar to those of peptic ulcer.
- Fibrotic pathology is diagnosed if necrotic changes in the mucosa, the appearance of pus, the formation of a fibrous film are detected. From how deeply inflamed inflammation is established, croupous( superficial) gastroduodenitis or diphtheria( deep) is established.
- Necrotic gastroduodenitis occurs in the acute stage when dangerous chemicals that cause internal burns enter the stomach.
- With the phlegmonous variety, not only the mucous membrane is affected, but also the walls of the stomach and duodenum. Pathology develops with mechanical damage to the gastrointestinal tract.
Features of treatment of exacerbation of gastroduodenitis
Very dangerous can be gastroduodenitis in the acute stage, treatment in this case is carried out in three directions:
- Measures are being taken to eliminate the causes of the disease.
- Pain symptoms are relieved.
- A strictly sparing diet is observed.
- Rehabilitation measures are carried out.
There are no general therapeutic schemes, for each patient, a plan is being developed. When acute gastroduodenitis develops, the patient is advised to adhere to the pastel regimen. Hospitalized only if there is a suspicion of the development of an erosive species, taking place against a background of reduced acidity. In this case, during treatment it is necessary to constantly monitor the level of production of hydrochloric acid.
In the early days, a diet with an exacerbation of gastroduodenitis becomes the main component of therapy. The patient is advised to learn how to eat properly, calorically, nutritionally, but from the menu you need to exclude pepper, fried, salty foods, soy products, vegetables and fruits with coarse fiber. The chosen diet should be gentle. You need to learn to eat a little, 5-6 times a day, cook meals exclusively for a couple, bake in the oven, while all the solid products are crushed to a consistency of puree.
Therapeutic diet with exacerbation of gastroduodenitis is based on the use of products with which you can prepare dishes of mucous consistency, mashed liquid porridge in water, sweet jelly. The detailed menu contains a diet table number 1.
Pains are removed by spasmolytics, when vomiting is prescribed prokinetics, with bacterial damage, strong antibiotics are used. In the course of severe forms it is important to control the water-salt balance. It is corrected by physiological solutions.
Any, even the most severe exacerbation of gastroduodenitis passes independently and very quickly, after 3-4 days. But only with the application of adequate treatment during the next two weeks virtually all functions of the gastrointestinal tract are restored, and remission occurs. Its duration depends entirely on the person himself. If he continues to eat properly, try to avoid stressful situations, constantly observed in the gastroenterologist, gastroduodenitis in the acute stage "will not return."

- It is necessary to monitor the storage of products.
- Do not re-freeze the thawed product.
