Recently, the number of patients with various gastrointestinal diseases has increased. Most often - it's dysbiosis. Only after the examination it is possible to determine what degrees of the disease are detected in this or that patient.
The disease can be divided into primary and secondary. In the first case, the patient observes a change in the intestinal microflora. The secondary case is due to the complication of small or large intestine. In addition, doctors divide the disease into various stages of dysbiosis:
- At 1 degree of dysbacteriosis in the intestine, the level of bacteria beneficial to the body decreases. Most often for the first time the days of obvious signs of the disease are not noticeable.
- The second degree of dysbiosis is caused by the rapid development of pathogenic microorganisms. At this time there is a disruption in the work of the intestine. The patient feels pain in the abdominal area, there is flatulence and upset of the stool.
- At the third degree of a dysbacteriosis there is a lesion of walls of an intestine. Changing the stool becomes chronic. Often in the stool you can see not overcooked food particles.
- The final stage of the disease is the fourth, which is caused by the appearance of an acute infection. The human body is very depleted, and sometimes anemia can occur. The patient feels nausea, heartburn, headache and an unpleasant odor in the oral cavity. Similar symptoms can occur regardless of the degree of dysbiosis.
Regardless of the stage of dysbiosis, it is necessary to undergo an emergency examination, so that the doctor can prescribe a therapy. Otherwise, pathology can adversely affect such diseases as gastritis and ulcer.
Dysbacteriosis 1 degree
Such a disease as a dysbacteriosis 1 degree may appear in the patient due to malnutrition, chronic gastrointestinal diseases, taking some antibiotics. At the first degree of the disease, the normal anaerobic flora prevails over the aerobic flora. Bifidobacteria decrease almost twofold. In this case, obvious signs of disease can be overlooked. The only thing that should be paid attention is the change in the color scale of the stool.
In the event that a dysbacteriosis of 1 degree in adults was detected at an early stage, you should immediately start treatment so that complications do not arise later.
Treatment of a dysbacteriosis of 1 degree shares on several stages:
- First of all it is necessary to clear an intestine from harmful bacteria. To do this, specialists use drugs, which can include antibiotics such as tetracycline, penicillin.
- After cleansing, it is necessary to populate the beneficial bacteria that will repair the damaged microflora.
- As soon as the balance is found, it is necessary to hold it for a while at the same level. If this is not done, a dysbacteriosis of 1-2 degrees will develop further.
- The final step is to restore intestinal functions and adjust the immune status.
It should be remembered that only a gastroenterologist should be treated. Do not self-medicate. Otherwise, you can aggravate the current situation. The first degree of ailment is not terrible, so when taking medications from the disease you can get rid of.
Dysbacteriosis of 2nd degree
The patient, who was struck by a dysbacteriosis of 2 degrees, will feel changes in the state of his body. First of all, the patient appears:
- Pain in the abdomen during meals, strong belching, nausea and a decrease in appetite;
- The stool becomes liquid. It has a greenish tinge. There are cases when the dysbacteriosis of stage 2 causes a stool retention;
- A large amount of white plaque appears on the tongue. On the body may appear spots in the form of urticaria, meaning the onset of an allergic reaction.
After the symptoms appear, you need to urgently seek qualified help. The doctor will conduct a full examination, and only after that will prescribe medication.
To eliminate dysbacteriosis 2 degrees, treatment should begin with the elimination of bacteria and fungi. For this purpose, the doctor prescribes antifungal drugs, which should be taken within 10 days.
The next step is the restoration of the gastric microflora. Useful bacteria that produce lactic acid can be "populated" with the help of drugs such as Acipol, Bifikol and Bifidumbacterin. Also, one should not forget about spasmodics, since in most cases, dysbacteriosis of the 2nd degree in adults causes acute pain.
For the fastest recovery, many doctors recommend, in addition to medicines, to use folk remedies. To eliminate the harmful microflora, you can eat 1 clove of garlic before going to bed.
Also folk remedies help to get rid of acute pain. It is enough to drink a decoction of chamomile or calendula. For 200 ml of boiling water, 2 tablespoons of dried plant are brewed.
Do not forget about such an unpleasant symptom, like flatulence, which causes dysbacteriosis of the intestines of the 2nd degree. With meteorism, the patient can cope with a decoction of eucalyptus leaves.
If you combine traditional and traditional medicine, dysbacteriosis of the second degree will be cured in a short period of time.
Dysbacteriosis of 3rd degree
The third degree is dangerous in that pathogens reproduce directly on the walls of the intestine. As a result, an inflammatory process occurs that leads to chronic diarrhea. Dysbacteriosis of the third degree affects the alteration of the digestive system. In the stool, the patient can notice not overcooked pieces of food, as well as mucus.
In the event that a person has a dysbacteriosis in 3 stages, you can not hope that Acipol and Lineks will get rid of the disease. First of all, it is necessary to fight with bad bacteria. This will help drugs such as Lactofiltrum and Enterol.
Once the harmful microflora has been eliminated, the process of restorative therapy begins, which includes the invasion of beneficial bacteria, since the dysbacteriosis of the third degree in adults can continue to develop. Useful bacteria are infused with the drug Bifiform or Bifidumbacterin.
In order for the therapy to be effective, the physician assigns functional nutrition to the patient. The disease requires a strict diet from the patient. In food should be, the following substances:
- Fats;
- Carbohydrates;
- Proteins;
- Vitamins;
- Microelements;
- Sufficient water.
During one day, the patient should drink at least two liters of liquid. It is recommended to drink 40 glasses before the meal one glass of clean, filtered water. It is best if the water is mineral, but without gases.
Power must be supplied at the same time. The daily meals include:
- Breakfast;
- Second breakfast;
- Lunch;
- Snack;
- Dinner.
Patient, who was struck by a dysbacteriosis of the third degree, it is necessary to use sour-milk products. The stomach is well absorbed by cheeses, yoghurts, kefir, butter. As for the oil, it should not contain additives of palm oil, since the digestive tract will be hard to cope with such food. To increase the effectiveness of therapy aimed at eliminating dysbacteriosis of grade 3, treatment of adults requires adjustment of dietary nutrition. It all depends on what symptoms manifest themselves most often. Correction of dietary nutrition should be carried out together with a gastroenterologist.
Dysbacteriosis 4 degrees
4 degree of disease is the most dangerous. Pathogenic organisms develop with great speed. As a result, food in the intestine begins to rot. Rotting can cause an intoxication of the body. In the event that toxins get into the blood, there is inflammation of the internal organs.
With 4 degrees of dysbacteriosis, the symptoms become pronounced:
- Diarrhea becomes frequent, accompanied by blood and mucus;
- The patient is constantly vomiting;
- Appetite completely disappears.
At the last stage of dysbacteriosis, you need to urgently go to see a doctor. Light drugs that help cope with a disease that is at another stage will not help. You need heavy medications that can cope with a bad microflora.
The physician should carefully select the medications, as the intestinal microflora is severely impaired. The patient suffers from diarrhea, bloating, weakness, exhaustion of the body, as well as dyspeptic disorders. Categorically it is not recommended to engage in self-medication.
After finishing the course of treatment of dysbacteriosis, the doctor prescribes prevention, which includes:
- Eating food that does not contain dyes and chemical additives;
- The diet should not consist of fatty grades of meat, alcoholic beverages, coffee and sweet, as these products can contribute to the development of the disease;
- Daily use of sour-milk products, beneficial to the healthy microflora of the body.
Periodically it is recommended to use probiotics and prebiotics. These drugs have a beneficial effect on the functional capacity of the intestine, and raise the level of immunity.
