hunger. What are the causes of the disease and how to cope with it?
Different forms of dyspepsia
Like other diseases, this can take several forms. Dyspepsia syndrome includes symptoms such as rapid satiety with heaviness in the abdomen, discomfort in the stomach, nausea, pain from hunger. The same signs appear with peptic ulcer, with stones in the gall bladder, with pancreatitis or cholecystitis, with gastroesophageal reflux disease. Therefore, if available, it is important to consult a specialist for detailed diagnostics. Ultrasound of the abdominal cavity or esophagogastroduodenoscopy will help establish the exact cause of the discomfort. If any of the diseases listed above is detected, the form is considered organic. If the disease is primary and developed independently, it is called functional or chronic dyspepsia. This condition most often gradually arises on the basis of malnutrition and eventually becomes constant.
Why does dyspepsia develop?
What is malnutrition? How to understand that
diet is not too healthy? Everything is pretty simple. In order to avoid dyspepsia, try not to eat at night, limit the use of alcohol and fatty foods, do not eat sandwiches with coffee or tea, do not eat convenience foods and fast food. For some, the stomach can withstand a couple of months of such a menu, for others it takes years. In any case, the result will be the same - you have to think about a visit to the doctor. Sometimes the cause of malaise can be medication, the impact of a stressful situation, impaired motility of the gastrointestinal tract. There is also the bacterium Helicobacter pylori, from which dyspepsia also develops. What it is? An infection that affects the stomach and causes various diseases, including gastritis.
How to restore health?
To begin
body restoration costs with changes in diet. You should eat small meals about five times a day, completely excluding fried, fatty, spicy, pastries and sweets, alcoholic drinks and sandwiches. Within a few days, the condition will begin to approach normal. Sometimes, prokinetics are also required, especially if the patient has dyskinetic
functional dyspepsia. What it is? These are drugs that improve gastric motility. If the patient is characterized by hunger pain, antacids are recommended. In each case, it is recommended to use drugs with antioxidants from plant components, for example, the Australian drug "Ectis". But the basis is precisely the observance of the regimen, taking drugs without changes in the diet will not lead to positive results. Only healthy food, which has become the norm, can finally restore the state of the stomach and defeat dyspepsia.
