Dyspeptic symptoms are digestive disorders that develop due to the lack of certain enzymes involved in the digestion of food.
Disrupted motility of the digestive tract can slow down the digestion of food that has entered the stomach and its absorption. For this reason, dyspeptic symptoms begin to develop.
At the same time, with the appearance of these disorders, intestinal mucosa is irritated by the formation of a huge amount of nutrient decomposition products, which are hydrogen sulfide and organic acids. This becomes a prerequisite for the development of excessively active peristalsis. Also, disruptions in the digestive system adversely affect the state of microflora and lead to the occurrence of dysbiosis.
Manifestation
Dyspeptic phenomena, which are accompanied by fermentation processes, are expressed in rumbling in the intestines and severe flatulence. In this case, the stool is characterized by fluid and pallor, an acidic smell, an admixture of foam. In the course of coprology, the presence of a huge amount of plant fiber, acidic organic compounds, and starch impurities is established. Both rotten and fermentative dyspeptic symptoms are expressed in diarrhea. Due to general poisoning by decay products, a reduction in working capacity, lethargy and general weakness, and an appetite disorder are often observed. The analysis reveals the content in the stool of nitrogen.
Dyspeptic Syndrome: Diagnosis
Diagnostics is based on analysis data, coprology results, clinical symptoms of the disease, conversations with the patient. It is worth considering that in some cases there are no symptoms of the inflammatory process of the intestinal mucosa. With the occurrence of dyspeptic phenomena, differential diagnosis is crucial for separating this group of disorders from other diseases of the digestive system - enterocolitis, enteritis, pancreatitis, gastritis and others. The installation according to the history of the factors of irrational and malnutrition of the patient in the absence of pathological disorders in the secretory function justifies that dyspeptic phenomena are multilateral.
Fast relief of manifestations, subject to normalization of the diet and regimen, is a confirmation of the correct diagnosis. Differential diagnosis is also required to distinguish between various dyspeptic phenomena with infectious and parasitic colitis, for example, with bacillary dysentery. To conduct it, you need to have anamnestic data, information about the pathological processes associated with the disease (cramps in the muscles of the abdomen, fever), about the general condition of the patient. In addition, analysis of the presence of inflammatory processes in the intestinal tract should be considered, studies on salmonellosis are carried out, the presence of other pathogenic bacteria in the digestive system is checked.
