Oddly enough, the concept of intestinal colic can also apply to an adult organism. What contributes to such an anomalous process? The causes of this pathology are many, but still modern medicine identifies the most important, among which are malnutrition, in particular the use of dubious food, as well as the entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the intestines , which gradually affect its microflora and contribute to the development of intestinal colic. Productive treatment is possible only if the direct cause of relapse has been found and eliminated, and is aimed at eliminating pain and preventing repeated exacerbations.
If we consider the dynamics of this malaise, then we can say that the intestinal spasm predominates at the basis of the progression of intestinal colic, and it does not matter which one, thin or thick. But nevertheless, it is the small intestine that is more prone to spastic contraction, in addition, such pathogenic signals diverge very quickly and become massive. In addition, bowel spasm is accompanied by severe irritation.
It should be noted that patients with chronic diagnoses of gastritis and pancreatitis are especially prone to such pathologies as intestinal colic. Unexpected relapse is due to poor digestibility, pancreatic pathology, poor food patency, and bloating, finally. Also, pathogenic microbes that can cause not only intestinal colic, but also lead to more serious intestinal disorders, should not be ruled out. But harmful bacteria can be the most unexpected: from staphylococci to dysentery bacillus, the degree of the disease is already determined from here and conclusions are drawn about treatment.
In medicine, intestinal cramps due to nerves are very common. In this case, intestinal colic is more likely for impressionable people to face serious, in their opinion, life situations that are accompanied by nerve contractions of the stomach and, as a result, the disease is evident.
In addition, this ailment often progresses in a “duet” with helminths, which in turn irritate the intestinal mucosa. Intestinal anomaly is also characteristic of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections, which is often associated with a weakened immune system during the illness, as well as the prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms in the diseased organism.
How are intestinal colic expressed in adults? Symptoms of their progression are obvious, since the patient has a complete digestive upset (constipation, diarrhea), bloating and pain in the abdomen, liquid stool with an admixture of blood or mucus, as well as a slight increase in temperature.
Intestinal colic is extremely unpleasant, the treatment of which may include the most unexpected and sometimes completely opposite medical effects. The main objective of effective treatment is to eliminate the cause of intestinal colic. And this means that there is no universal method for all patients, according to which a characteristic disease is treated productively. Here, the approach should be purely individual, which will be selected for a particular patient. First you need to remove the pain syndrome, then make a series of clinical studies that will help determine the causative agent of relapse, and then, based on the indications and degree of the disease, prescribe treatment with further prevention.
Sometimes a delayed treatment of an intestinal disorder can lead to fatal consequences that can end in a hospital bed. Therefore, it is necessary to respond in advance to the signals of your own body and promptly seek help from a specialist.
