Periduodenitis Primary

Periduodenitis is an inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the duodenum or its ampulla.

Clinically, the disease manifests itself as pain in the epigastric region. The intensity of the pain can vary: from aching to cramping, they often extend throughout the abdomen. As for the nature, the pain is felt in the form of attacks that occur at irregular intervals until complete disappearance. It should be noted that with an uncomplicated course of the disease, pain disappears when eating. Pain can be caused by physical activity or drinking alcohol.

Periuodenitis can have an acute or chronic course. Acute periuodenitis is a sudden and rapidly developing process. In essence, this is demarcation inflammation, occurring with a sharp limitation of edema and the appearance of islands of necrosis. This process is very painful. During the transition to the chronic stage, the intensity of local symptoms decreases. The patient's general condition also improves somewhat. Common manifestations of the pathological process include:

Weakness; Tinnitus; Abdominal pain; Nausea; Increased sweating; Bitterness in the mouth; Changes in taste sensations; Increased salivation; Excessive tearing. After some time, the clinical signs of the disease become increasingly worse. It is worth noting the fact that the appearance of a jaundiced color of the skin may indicate blood poisoning, intoxication and a deterioration in the patient’s condition as a whole. This is a serious reason for hospitalization and immediate initiation of treatment. Among the factors influencing the occurrence and course of periduodentitis are: a) neglect of simple hygiene rules; b) enzymatic deficiency of one’s own body; c) the presence of intestinal infections; d) delay in the formation of normal natural immunity; e) non-compliance with diet. Acute viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis of the toxic-infectious type, can provoke the occurrence of periuodoedenofeitis. As a result, liver damage in these diseases is one of the primary causes of inflammation.
