What is an ileocecal valve?

The

ileocecal valve is the muscles of the sphincter that allows the passage of the gastrointestinal tract to pass. When the function of the ileocecal valve is disturbed, potentially dangerous conditions may occur. Colonoscopy is often used to determine the cause of disorders associated with ileocecal valve and digestive system. Depending on test findings, treatment may include simple lifestyle and diet changes, antibiotics or other drugs, and in some cases surgery.

It is located between the small and large intestines, the ileocecal valve protects the waste materials in the backup and the accumulation in the small intestine. The condition known as the ileocecal valve syndrome (ICV) occurs when the ileocecal valve does not work properly and either remains closed or open. Closing the valve results in the prevention of waste from entering the large intestine. When the valve remains open, the waste substances in the small intestine accumulate, which creates toxic blocking. Let the situation if they are not treated,It can disrupt digestion and lead to the accumulation and absorption of the body toxins that can be fatal. Individuals who have unhealthy eating habits or suffer from dehydration can become symptomatic. It was found that the nervous pressure located in the upper lumbar spine or lower back contributes to the development of problems with the ileocecal valve. Symptoms include back pain, nausea and intestinal disruption. The treatment includes dietary changes, applied kinesiology and chiropractic modifications.

When inexplicable disorders in the digestive system appear, colonoscopy is often used. If an individual suffers from problems such as the anemia of unknown origin, experiencing bloody stools or suffering from an inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), coloscopy can be useful in detecting the source of the problem. Abnormal results of colonoscopy may indicate intestinal inflammation, infection, presence of polyps or tumor. Colonoscopy that is forStranged as an outpatient procedure, requires that the intestines be cleaned and emptied before testing.

In colonoscopy, the patient is given a pain relief and a slight sedative. Lying on its left side, colonoscope, flexible tube equipped with a small camera, introduced into the rectum and proceeds towards the lowest part of the small intestine, where there is an ileocecal flap. The air is served through the tube to get better images of the area. During the test, lymphatic tissue samples, known as biopsy and remove existing polyps, may be taken. The risks associated with colonoscopy include infection, nausea and bleeding in biopsy.
