One of the stages of gastric bulbitis is called catarrhal bulbitis. And although in the international classification of diseases such a disease does not appear, our doctors continue to specify this prescription in the prescriptions. Catarrhal bulbitis of the stomach is characterized by a prolonged inflammatory process in the bulb of the duodenum, adjacent to the stomach. Its difference from chronic bulbitis is that the symptoms manifest themselves with quite large time intervals.
The main symptoms of catarrhal bulbitis
The zone of inflammation is between the stomach and intestines, and the bile ducts come out. As a result of the inflammatory process, there may be swelling, rupture of capillaries, erosion and large clusters of bacteria. Sometimes it is microorganisms that are the cause of the disease. Most of the pathogens are chelacobacteria and lamblia. Often bulbit arises from malnutrition, bad habits and hereditary predisposition. The main signs of catarrhal bulbit:
- "Hungry pain" in the area of the stomach;
- aching pain in the navel, giving off in the scapula;
- spasms and vomiting after eating;
- attacks of nausea and dizziness in the morning, on an empty stomach;
- bitter taste in the mouth , unpleasant odor;
- propensity to constipation;
- dizziness, weakness.
Treatment of catarrhal bulbit
After finding the symptoms, you need to see a doctor in order to establish an accurate diagnosis. This can be done only by examining the surface of the duodenal bulb mucosa by the method of fibrogastroduodenoscopy. Depending on what features of the disease are detected, treatment is prescribed.
Catarrhal-erosive bulbitis is characterized by a significant zone of mucosal damage, but only in its upper part. Usually, in this case, prescribed drugs that reduce the acidity of the gastric juice and regulate the production of bile.
Catarrhal focal bulbitis is most often caused by accumulations of pathogenic bacteria, so antibiotics can be indicated.
For all types of catarrhal bulbitis patient should follow a strict diet . In the first week of treatment, you can take only soft and liquid foods. It can be boiled vegetables and meat, cereals, not fatty soups. For this period it is necessary to abandon salt and spices. After the first week after the beginning of treatment, you can eat these foods in a solid form, but from bad habits and drinking coffee will have to be abandoned forever.
