Hemorrhagic antral gastritis is manifested by the appearance of vascular changes in the submucosa antrum layer, causing hemorrhages and thrombosis of its small vessels. In the treatment of the disease, medication and diet are used. There are acute and chronic forms of the disease.
In the chronic phase, the disease manifests itself as a symptom of any type of gastritis:
- blunt continuous pain in the epigastrium, reinforcing after eating;
- frequent attacks of nausea and vomiting;
- dizziness and fatigue;
- appearance of white plaque on the tongue;
- weakening of gustatory sensations.
The acute form of hemorrhagic antral gastritis develops rather quickly and is characterized by the presence of blood in the vomiting and in the feces. Accurate diagnosis of the disease, type and extent of mucosal damage is performed using instrumental studies.
Reasons for the appearance of hemorrhagic antral gastritis
Most often, a malfunction of the antrum leads to:
- poor-quality nutrition;
- alcohol;
- uncontrolled intake of certain medicines;
- poisoning with toxic substances.
Sometimes the development of the disease leads to infection. The main prerequisite for the emergence of foci of inflammation of the antrum is the vital activity of helicobacteria entering the stomach with poor-quality products and water, which causes an increase in acidity and the development of inflammation.
Treatment of hemorrhagic antral gastritis
Treatment of the disease should be comprehensive and include the use of medications and diets.
Decreased production of hydrochloric acid is promoted by antisecretory agents. Coagulants are used to stop bleeding.
To protect the mucosa from the aggressive effects of gastric juice, gastro-cytoprotectors are prescribed. When it is necessary to improve the digestion of food, enzymes are taken.
In case of hemorrhagic antral gastritis, the general strengthening of the whole organism is necessary, which is ensured by the intake of missing vitamins and trace elements.
In addition to the basic treatment it is allowed to use traditional medicine.
It is known that many herbs and preparations have good wound healing and anti-inflammatory properties. These include a decoction of yarrow, chamomile, valerian root, peppermint and fennel.
Dietary food for hemorrhagic antral gastritis
Successful cure for hemorrhagic antral gastritis is impossible without dieting.
It is required to completely eliminate alcohol, fried, spicy, smoked and fatty foods. It will be necessary to limit the consumption of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and citrus fruits, as well as baking. Food should be used warmly. It is desirable to diversify the menu with mucous porridges, vegetable soups, kissels, fermented milk products.
At the first manifestations of signs of gastric bleeding it is required to immediately consult a gastroenterologist.
