Such an inflammatory disease of the gastric mucosa, like gastritis, has so many varieties. All of them differ both in the form of defeat of the digestive organ and the duration of the course of the disease, and in the location in certain departments.
This form of gastritis is an inflammatory lesion that occurs in the furthest, distal parts of the stomach. According to medical statistics this variant of the disease most often affects the inhabitants of megacities, mostly the male part of the population.
The reason for this is the abuse of strong alcoholic beverages, smoking, the often occurring psycho-emotional overexertion, irrational nutrition with a predominance of acute, fatty, salty foods, a tendency instead of visiting a doctor to self-medicate with the appointment of a large number of antibiotics and non-steroid preparations. In order to timely recognize the onset of the disease and take the necessary measures, you should know the main symptoms associated with distal gastritis:
- After eating, either the pain in the epigastric region may appear or disappear;
- Often there is a sharp weight loss;
- Appetite significantly reduced;
- Depending on the background of what acidity( increased or decreased) there was a distal gastritis, always accompanying his burp can have a rotten or sour taste;
- Constant bloating, accompanied by excessive flatulence;
- Feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, persistent nausea and often vomiting.
These alarming signs make it possible to suspect a beginning distal gastritis and to urgently consult a specialist for confirmation of the diagnosis.
Erosive distal gastritis
If in this inflammatory disease of the stomach on the mucous membrane of the distal part of the DGD, numerous, jagged structures and bleeding-prone defects are found during the GGDF, which means that the disease has become more complicated and difficult to treat-an erosive gastritis.
The degree of complexity of the erosive variety of this disease can be equated with peptic ulcer. The only difference is that in this case, when healing these lesions, scarring is not formed. In the event that timely treatment has not been started, bloody discharge appears in the emetic and fecal masses of the ill person, which indicates internal bleeding.
Chronic distal gastritis
The disease can occur in 2 forms: chronic and acute. The chronic stage is the most dangerous and difficult to cure for a person. With it, the periods of remission of the disease are replaced by frequent exacerbations.
Distal gastritis in the case of a chronic stage should be constantly observed in the specialist, so that when the exacerbation begins, start timely treatment as soon as possible and prevent the progression of the disease.
Treatment of the distal form of this inflammatory disease of the stomach is prescribed only by a specialist after confirmation of the presence of this particular form of the disease with the help of a special diagnostic study. Only in this case there is a chance to permanently rid the patient of the unpleasant symptoms of this disease.
And although many people have a habit of following the advice of friends and acquaintances who have been ill with this disease, it is worth remembering that any self-treatment with such a variety of gastritis will not only bring the desired results, but it can also significantly damage the entire digestive system, and lead to irreparable consequencesin the form of incurable diseases of the digestive tract.
