People "chooses" a stomach ulcer and how to recognize

Let's see, may develop a peptic ulcer and what symptoms it will indicate the reasons.

Tedious, causing nausea, exhausting pain in the middle of the body, which occurs right in those moments when so want to relax before going to bed or a delicious dinner ... unfortunately suffering from ulcer, getting bigger.

Gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer develops due to the imbalance between the aggressive environment (gastric juice, bile and casting, etc.) and protective properties (mucus, normal blood circulation in the walls of the bodies, alkaline pancreatic juice reaction). If formed in the stomach ulcers - most often it means "broken" link protective mucous membrane, which resisted the aggression of acid gastric juice.

With high probability ulcer opt for those who:

• violates the diet;
• abused sharp, rough, irritating foods;
• quickly, hurriedly eating;
• consume spirits and their substitutes;
• smokes.

The so-called ulcerative defect happens itself peptic ulcer and symptomatic ulcer. Let's start with the second group. Call ulcerative mucosal defect can be damaging factors: chemical substances having ulcerative direct (ie, causing the plague, "ultser" - Latin ulcer) action. First of all:

• nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (aspirin, indomethacin, diclofenac and derivatives thereof);
• alcohol, especially if the amount exceeds 10% of the gastric contents;
• nicotine and other components of tobacco smoke realize their damaging effect and, in case of ulcers nicotine slows mucosal regeneration processes;
• negative emotions, especially the state of permanent chronic stress, acute mental overexertion - "stress" ulcers;
• the presence of stones in the gall bladder, pancreas problems - emanating from these diseased organs pathological impulses also contribute to the emergence of ulcer;
• Some hormonal diseases, chronic diseases of other organs (lung disease, liver cirrhosis, renal failure);
• hereditary factors.

In the occurrence of peptic ulcer itself a leading role played by Helicobacter pylori infection. In 100% of cases of stomach ulcers and 80% of duodenal ulcers in the lining of these organs observed bacterium helicobacter pylori. In itself it is not "erodes" mucosa, but its activity products interfere with the normal functioning of the shells hit microvessels stimulate aggressive factors, which in turn increase gastric acid secretion and lead to the formation of ulcers.

The bacterium that is interesting for its insidious properties - it is able to hide! It produces such things "cloud" itself safely to harbor bacteria body of medicines, which intensively treated host organism. Fully all the "talents" bacteria are not yet recognized - in some cases it can cause, for example, only a slight gastritis, and in other - more serious organ damage. And why not produced immunity ulcer, if the disease is considered infectious?

However, the statistics - a serious thing. Therefore they are related to your stomach "grown-up" - if there are complaints, we will not carelessly waving his hand: "A gastritik, food cold food ..." and still pass inspection. Moreover, the presence of only discomfort in the stomach, do not necessarily fibrogastroscopy (one of the most unpleasant procedures "swallowing the probe"). The presence of H. pylori can be identified by the breath test (urease and fast). Find out where in your city, you can do so, rule out or confirm the presence of infection. If HP is still detected, it is best to gather the courage to pass fibrogastroscopy to determine the presence of an ulcer, look at her stenochki, eliminate the risk of bleeding from her or perforation (when the plague breaks out in neighboring organs). In this test, the doctor will take a biopsy to stenochek ulcers, in order to eliminate the unpleasant aspects of the disease and quantify the presence of bacteria.

How to identify a peptic ulcer? On it will indicate:

• aching, dragging pain in the stomach area, or slightly to the right;
• pain arising fasting at night or early morning hours;
• pain radiating to the back or the anterior abdominal wall;
• the pain goes away after a meal;
• nausea, vomiting may be absent;
• 25% of the ulcer occurs without pain, often appearing only increased salivation.

Ulcerative defect is treated by destruction of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, decrease gastric acid secretion and mucosal healing. The hardest thing - to destroy the very bacterium, for this there are special multi-component treatment regimen.
