Stomach ulcers

Causes

The disease develops due to the following factors:

• prolonged or often recurring stress conditions;
• chronic gastritis;
• diseases of the biliary tract, liver, pancreas;
• malnutrition;
• smoking;
• alcohol abuse;
• genetic predisposition.

Symptoms

• pain in the stomach: burning, sharp, dull, aching;
• a feeling of fullness of the stomach is possible;
• perhaps a feeling of hunger;
• night pains that do not cease from taking antacids.

In some cases, clinical manifestations are absent.

With a stomach ulcer, pain occurs or intensifies after eating.

In addition to pain, stomach ulcers are characterized by nausea, vomiting and weight loss due to lack of appetite.

Exacerbation of the disease often occurs in spring and autumn. Preventive treatment, which must be carried out constantly, does not contribute to the complete cure of the disease, but gives a temporary effect. If treatment is not carried out, complications are possible, such as bleeding, germination of the ulcer deep into the wall of the stomach, and the development of the ulcer into cancer.

Diagnostics

In our clinic, doctors conduct a comprehensive comprehensive examination of a patient with suspected peptic ulcer. It includes:

• biochemical blood tests;
• studies of feces for occult blood;
• fluoroscopy of the stomach and intestines;
• gastroscopy (endoscopy) with a fence of the mucous membrane to determine N.P. and from the edges of the ulcer with further histological examination of the resulting material.

Treatment

In our clinic, specialists carry out drug therapy. In addition, our doctors give detailed recommendations on adhering to the diet required in your case.

During periods of exacerbation, treatment is necessary in a hospital setting.
