Duodenitis is the inflammatory disease of the duodenal mucosa.
Pathology can occur in acute form with pronounced clinical symptoms, indicating the development of acute inflammation, or in a chronic form, in which the nature of the pathology acquires a sluggish form with erased symptomatology and structural disorders of mucous tissues.
Acute duodenitis is often transformed into a chronic form. The disease is more often detected in male patients.
Symptoms of the disease
Several decades ago inflammatory lesions of the duodenum were considered by specialists as one of the varieties of ulcer pathology.
But thanks to a large-scale research work it was possible to determine that duodenitis is a separate disease that usually develops against the backdrop of inflammatory processes in other parts of the gastrointestinal tract.
The clinical picture of the pathological inflammatory process in the duodenum is determined by its specific form.
Among the main manifestations of duodenitis specialists call:
- Night pains, which are eliminated by taking antacids or after eating;
- Discomfort sensations in the abdomen and apathy, general weakness and lethargy, a marked decrease in performance, until its loss;
- Chronic constipation;
- Hyperthermia;
- Nausea and vomiting;
- Prolonged sour belch and frequent heartburn;
- Painful seizures in the epigastric region resembling pancreatitis or cholecystitis, with palpation, the pain syndrome is markedly increased;
- Plentiful saliva secretion;
- Digestive disorders, which are caused by fermentation and decay of food in the intestines. In the results, patients experience increased gas production and lack of appetite, rumbling in the abdomen and nausea;
- Jaundice sclera and skin, which is caused by bile and stasis bilirubin in the blood;
- Nervous system disorders, which are manifested by hot flashes, extraneous ear noise and trembling limbs. The insufficiency of hormonal character develops, which negatively affects the nervous systemic vegetative activity.
In fact, duodenitis is very similar to duodenal ulcer, which complicates the diagnosis a little.
