Piloro

Pylorospasm (pylorospasia; Greek: pilos - villus + psamai - groan) is a contraction or narrowing of the muscular section of the intestine located between the stomach and intestines.

As a rule, in children, pylorospasm develops very early - almost from the first days of life. In infants, spasms of this muscle segment may already occur in the first months of life, even with normal development. I think pyloric spasms are simply ignored because they are safer for the child’s health. However, the disease can manifest itself in a person at any age. For example, a common case is early pylorospasm in children aged 2-3 years. In this case, patients may have the following symptoms: nausea after eating, cramping pain and difficulty breathing. The disease is diagnosed using radiography, special electrogastrography or computed tomography. Treatment of pyloric spasms is usually carried out with the use of sedatives. Physiotherapy and massage are also often used. Exercises are good for eliminating spasms. Pylorospasm should always be treated rather than attempted to be ignored. Otherwise, the disease can lead to such serious complications as gastritis, colitis, intestinal obstruction, etc.

**Pyloro** is a term that often appears in medical literature and is associated with the concept of the stomach. It is a narrow opening at the top of the stomach that connects it to the duodenum. Pylorospasm (muscle spasm that narrows the lumen of the opening), pyloroduodenitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane in the area of ​​the opening with impaired passage of food) and pyloric stenosis (insufficiency of the circular muscles of the opening) are much less common.
