- Intestinal inflammation is mainly colitis and proctitis. Mild intestinal inflammation of women can't always attract the attention of women, and finally becomes serious before realizing the harm of intestinal inflammation.
- Female intestinal inflammation Prostatitis is only inflammation of the mucous membrane, and severe inflammation involves the submucosa, muscle layer, and even the tissue around the rectum;
- Sometimes only a part of the rectal mucosa is involved, sometimes the entire rectal mucosa is inflamed, and some of the colon's mucous membranes can also be involved. Proctitis is common in weak constitution, low resistance, heart, lung, liver, gastrointestinal diseases, respiratory infections, infectious diseases, constipation, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, anorectal prolapse, anal fistula, polyposis, anorectal stenosis , Rectal tumors, rectal injuries, foreign bodies, etc., can make the rectum inflammation.
- Some factors such as inadvertent diet, such as excessive drinking, over-stimulating food, etc., inappropriate long-term use of laxatives, too much corrosive drugs in the anus, bacterial infections can cause proctitis. The diagnosis of rectal inflammation can touch the rectal mucosa with weakened elasticity, coarse granular protrusions or scars.
- Proctoscopy revealed edema, hypertrophy, yellowish-white color of mucous membranes, covering the mucus, wiping the mucus, showing that the mucosal surface was not smooth, and some parts had erosion. Bacterial culture and biopsy can determine the diagnosis of the cause.
- The characteristics of chronic proctitis microscopy are: swelling and hypertrophy of mucous membranes, rough granules on the surface, and a small amount of mucus;
- (I) Conditioning: The patient should rest appropriately, and take light, less residue, nutrient-rich, non-irritating food, and be happy and combine work with rest.
- (B) Systemic treatment:
- Chinese medicine treatment:
- (1) In the chronic period, the body is weak and drains mucus.
- (2) In the acute exacerbation of chronic proctitis, clear the heat and detoxify and moisten the bowel.
- For the treatment of proctitis, we should be prepared for a protracted battle. Because prostatitis is not easy to cure, we should adjust our mentality, actively treat the disease, and strive to get rid of the disease as soon as possible.
- 1. Rectal injury caused by foreign body: Proctitis has many causes, but the most common is foreign body in the rectum. Undigested bone chips, wood chips, or other foreign objects with sharp angles can directly damage the rectal mucosa and cause proctitis. In addition, hard stool blocks in severe constipation can cause proctitis.
- 2. Poisoning and Infectious Diseases: Rectalitis is often secondary to rodenticide poisoning or heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, etc.), or infectious diseases characterized by gastroenteritis. But at this time, compared with the rectum, the pathological changes of other gastrointestinal tracts are more serious, and most cases show clinical symptoms from this disease.
- Female intestinal inflammatory colitis, also known as non-specific ulcerative colitis, has a slow onset and varies in severity. Colitis usually has dull pain or colic, usually in the left lower abdomen or lower abdomen. Other manifestations include loss of appetite, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and hepatomegaly; the left lower abdomen may have tenderness and sometimes touch the spasm of the colon. Common systemic symptoms include weight loss, fatigue, fever, and anemia. Main Clinical Symptoms of Intestinal Inflammation and Colitis in Women If colitis develops into ulcerative colitis without timely treatment, the patient will sweat, nausea, and lose appetite, which can reach as high as 40 ° C during fever. In severe episodes of ulcerative colitis, patients will lose a lot of blood. Material on the ulcer surface can also cause sepsis. Once sepsis develops, the patient is at risk. However, the onset of ulcerative colitis is usually intermittent and is not clinically severe. A large amount of blood in the stool: refers to a large amount of intestinal bleeding in a short period of time, accompanied by a rapid pulse, low blood pressure and low blood color, and requires blood transfusion treatment. Constipation: Defecation occurs once every 4-5 days. Feces are like sheep feces, and even laxatives cannot be used for laxation. Diarrhea: Caused by irritation of varying degrees of severity. Diarrhea is the main symptom of the disease. The mild person is 3-4 times a day, showing soft or pasty stools, which may be mixed with mucus and pus and blood; the severe case is dozens of times or diarrhea and constipation alternate. Colon cancer: About 5% of cases develop cancer. Abdominal pain: Mild patients have no abdominal pain or only abdominal discomfort. Generally, there is mild to moderate abdominal pain, which is a pain in the left lower abdomen, which can involve the rule of relieving the whole abdomen. Intestinal stenosis: Generally clinically asymptomatic, it can cause intestinal obstruction in severe cases. When intestinal stenosis occurs in this disease, be alert to tumors. Colitis may be accompanied by other symptoms: abdominal distension, weight loss, fatigue, bowel sounds, insomnia, dreams, cold, severe cases with fever, rapid heartbeat, and weakness, anemia, dehydration, electrolyte balance and nutritional disorders. Colitis classification
- 1. Chronic bacterial enteritis: There is often a history of acute bacterial rickets, and antibacterial treatment is effective. Fecal culture can isolate bacillary disease bacilli.
- 2. Chronic amoebic dysentery: the lesion mainly invades the right colon, with scattered ulcers, deep ulcers, and the colonic mucosa between ulcers is mostly normal; amoeba trophozoites or cysts can be found in feces, and anti-amoeba treatment is effective .
- 3. Localized enteritis: The lesion mainly invades the terminal ileum, abdominal pain is mostly located in the right lower abdomen or the umbilical cord, and it is rare after anesthesia. There is no mucus pus and blood in the stool, abdominal masses, fistula formation, and lesions around the anorectum are more common. Diagnosis helps.
- 4. Colon cancer: When colonitis develops to colon cancer, it is more common after middle age. Most rectal cancers can touch the mass during digital rectal examination; colonoscopy and X-ray barium enema examination are helpful for differential diagnosis, but we must pay attention Colon cancer coexists with colitis. The diagnosis of colitis is very important. It is the basis for determining the scope of the inflammation and the extent of the disease. Chengdu Dongda Anorectal Hospital usually uses the Japanese OLYMPUS electronic colonoscopy to identify the condition. Chengdu Dongda anorectal experts told the author that the diagnosis of chronic colitis includes clinical type, severity, extent of disease and stage of disease course.
Intestinal inflammation symptoms
- (1) gastrointestinal symptoms of enteritis: intermittent abdominal pain, abdominal distension, abdominal pain are the main manifestations of enteritis. This is especially true when you are cold, getting into greasy things, or when you are feeling emotional, or tired. The number of bowel movements increased, the number of daily trips or dozens of times, the anus fell, and the stool was unpleasant. In acute episodes of chronic enteritis, high fever, abdominal cramps, nausea and vomiting, and urinary stools such as water or slimy bloody stools can be seen. (2) Systemic symptoms: chronic consumption symptoms, unsmooth complexion, lack of energy, lazy speech, weak limbs, high temperature and cold. For example, in the acute inflammation phase, in addition to fever, symptoms of dehydration, acidosis, or shock and bleeding can be seen. (3) In terms of signs of enteritis: long-term abdominal discomfort or faint abdominal pain, physical examination showed abdomen, umbilicus or less abdomen, mild tenderness, hyperactive bowel sounds, prolapse. Brief introduction to the diagnosis of chronic colitis 1) At the onset of diarrhea, abdominal pain and so on. Chronic malnutrition is present for a long time. Physical examination may have abdominal tenderness. 2) White blood cells, red blood cells and a few pus cells are routinely seen in stool. Stool culture can find pathogenic bacteria. 3) X-ray barium examination and colonoscopy can exclude other specific intestinal inflammation. Because the course of chronic colitis is usually longer and the etiology is more complicated, experts from Chengdu Dongda Anorectum remind that professional examination can find the cause and symptomatic treatment. Patients with chronic colitis must be checked early and treated early to achieve a higher quality of life.
Prevention and treatment of intestinal inflammation
- This is a topic that many patients with chronic colitis want to know
- Chronic colitis daily diet taboos first, eat foods rich in protein and vitamins: fish, eggs and fresh young leafy vegetables. It is best to consume vegetable juice, because patients with chronic colitis have poor digestion and absorption, and adopt a digestible semi-liquid and less residue diet and a small number of meals to increase nutrition and improve symptoms. Second, eat foods containing tannic acid and pectin: persimmons, pomegranates, apples, etc. Patients with chronic colitis often experience diarrhea, and these foods have astringent and antidiarrheal effects. In the diet, you should pay less attention to eating more oil and fatty foods. If you have too much exhaust and diarrhea, you should eat less sugar and gas-producing foods such as potatoes, beans, and milk. Chronic colitis is used to treat Guchang Zhixie pills, which are mainly used to treat liver and spleen discord, diarrhea and abdominal pain, and chronic non-specific ulcerative colitis. It should be noted that cold, spicy, greasy and other irritating foods should be avoided when taking medicine and athletes should use them with caution. Bacillus licheniformis live particles, this medicine is suitable for intestinal dysfunction caused by imbalance of intestinal flora. Such as colitis, acute and chronic enteritis, acute and chronic diarrhea, bloating, indigestion and so on. Matrine tannin capsules, this drug is suitable for acute and chronic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, functional diarrhea and diarrhea caused by bacterial dysentery. This drug can strengthen the body's immunity and has anti-infective effects on bacteria that cause intestinal infections such as dysenteriae and amoeba. Anorectal experts remind that if you have chronic colitis, you should take medication under the guidance of a doctor and maintain good habits to recover as soon as possible. 4 Healthy intestinal standard The intestine is also the most important immune system of the human body, and the intestines are healthy before the human body can be healthy. Regarding how to judge whether their intestines are healthy, the doctors of Chengdu Dongda Anorectal Hospital gave the following five standards: 1. The frequency of defecation, no more than three times a day, and no less than three times a week, are normal ranges. Second, defecation weight, about 2 cm to 3 cm in diameter, about 100 grams in weight, total length of about 15 cm. Third, the color of stool, healthy stool is yellow or tan, affected by bile pigment, different shades; In addition, the main color of vegetables and meat-based people are different, the latter is slightly darker. Fourth, the shape of stool, normal stool should be banana-shaped, water content of about 60% to 75%, too little water is easy to constipation; too much water is diarrhea. Fifth, each time, the normal defecation time should be about 5 to 10 minutes, too long, too short is not good. If defecation is within these five standards, it means that your intestines are very healthy, and continuing to maintain good habits is an important magic weapon for your health. Probiotics are beneficial to the health of the intestinal tract. The incidence of intestinal diseases in China has increased year by year. Clinical studies have shown that there is a serious bacterial imbalance in the intestines of these patients. Relieve the condition. Probiotics are a class of non-pathogenic microorganisms that can positively affect the health and physiological functions of the host when digested. In recent years, with the rise of people's living standards and changes in diet, the incidence of intestinal diseases in China has increased year by year. Probiotics are a class of non-pathogenic microorganisms that can positively affect the health and physiological functions of the host when digested. They are composed of yeasts and bacteria, especially lactic acid bacteria, and their fate and role in the intestine vary depending on the strain. The role of probiotics can be achieved directly or indirectly by regulating endogenous flora or the immune system. Although the use of probiotics has a mitigating effect on other diseases, it is often used to treat gastrointestinal-related diseases. Nevertheless, only a few probiotic strains have been considered beneficial in randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials. Cohansenii Bifidobacterium BB-12 has excellent gastric acid and bile tolerance. After being consumed by humans, it survives and successfully colonizes in gastric acid and bile, optimizes intestinal flora balance, improves intestinal function, and is beneficial to intestinal health. After being discovered for its excellent efficacy and safety in 1983, it has been widely used in foods and food supplements without any side effects. There are more than 200 articles and more than 300 scientific publications recommended. Clinical studies cover infants, Adults and the elderly are the probiotic strains supported by the most authoritative clinical literature. Puractive probiotics (including BB-12) are produced by Danish Kehansen Co., Ltd., and are Danish Kehansen Co., Ltd.'s own brand. They are produced in strict compliance with European food safety standards. Official channels are imported from Europe.
