Enterospasm

Enterospasm is a spasmodic contraction of the walls of the stomach and intestines. Depending on the severity of the disorder, acute (in which intestinal motility suffers) and chronic enterospasm are distinguished. Most often, the reason that provokes the development of spasm of muscle fibers in the organs of the digestive system is a disruption in the functioning of the parts of the brain (cerebellum, cortex) responsible for voluntary control of the muscles of the gastrointestinal tract. Risk factors for the development of enterospasm also include a sedentary lifestyle, stress, improper eating patterns, allergies to certain types of foods, long-term use of medications, etc. Often, the patient also experiences a pathological condition - cramps of the muscle tissue of the stomach (gastrospasm).

The symptoms of enterospism are varied, since the disease affects several organs of the gastrointestinal tract. There may be no changes in the functioning of the stomach, but then there are attacks of nausea and frequent vomiting. A feeling of pain in the epigastric region develops after snacks. It is very difficult for the patient to eat, as sharp contractions of the stomach literally push the contents out. Diarrhea (diarrhea) may occur several minutes after eating a small amount of food. In serious forms of the disease, the stool is light in color and the consistency of the stool often resembles pebbles. If enterospasm is also accompanied by an attack of diarrhea, the stool will contain a lot of mucus and drops of blood. In addition to diarrhea and enterocolitis (inflammatory process in the intestines)
