Atony and intestinal dysbiosis

This disease is known to many, but, unfortunately, its danger is often underestimated, and self-treatment only translates it into a chronic form. Meanwhile atony and dysbacteriosis of the intestine are a serious pathology in the work of the body and require immediate and competent treatment.

General information.

Normally, a large number of microorganisms live inside the human intestine. Some of them are useful, some are harmful, others are considered neutral. To useful specialists include lactobacilli, bifidobacteria and bacteroides. They tend to have a positive effect on the body's immune systems, improve digestion, reduce the likelihood of an allergic reaction and even reduce the risk of developing cancer. Useful microorganisms also prevent the development of pathogenic microflora - staphylococci, streptococci, protea, other microbes and fungi.

In the event that under the influence of various external factors in the intestine the number of beneficial microorganisms sharply decreases, then the proliferation of pathogenic microbes begins. This condition is called atony and dysbiosis. By itself, dysbiosis is not an independent disease, it's just a condition that occurs with certain disorders in the work of the body. For example, atony and dysbacteriosis often occur against a background of diseases such as pancreatitis, gastritis, intestinal infections, etc. Dysbacteriosis of the intestine can occur after a long reception of antibiotics or when changing a previously chosen diet.

Symptoms of the disease.

The main signs of atony and dysbacteriosis that have begun are bloating, diarrhea or constipation, bad breath, nausea, allergy to weakly allergenic foods. When such symptoms appear, it is better to consult a gastroenterologist immediately. It is necessary to conduct a detailed examination and, when confirming dysbiosis, choose the optimal treatment. In the treatment of atony and dysbiosis, most doctors prescribe a special diet, from the drugs prescribed probiotics( these drugs contain live useful microorganisms) or antibiotics( suppress the vital activity of harmful microflora).In the case when atony and dysbacteriosis are caused by another disease, it will be necessary to conduct treatment for this disease. Sometimes intestinal dysbiosis therapy lasts several months.

Causes of dysbacteriosis and its treatment.

Dysbacteriosis and intestinal atony are most often caused by a general digestive system disorder or a decrease in acidity in the stomach. The patient often needs qualified treatment. Another dysbacteriosis of the intestine can cause various infections, allergies, antibiotics and many other reasons. Surgical treatment or exhaustion on the background of fasting can also cause a bacterial pathology in the intestine.

Dysbacteriosis of the intestine should be treated exclusively under the supervision of qualified gastroenterologists. Especially if the violation is due to the effects of radiation or a deficiency of the digestive system. It is important to remember that even a number of "ordinary" intestinal infections need qualified treatment, otherwise they will serve as a basis for the development of much more serious disorders.

In the event that atony and dysbacteriosis in the intestine pass with chronic constipation, a large amount of dietary fiber will be needed in the diet of the patient - this is a natural stimulant for intestinal peristalsis. Specialists also recommend adding a sufficient amount of mineral water with a low salt content. It is shown, if possible, the sanatorium-resort treatment knitted with this profile. Many modern sanatoriums have their own healing springs.

If we talk about the drug treatment of atony and dysbacteriosis of the intestine, then here are applicable a variety of eubiotics - a number of drugs that have antifungal, antibacterial and antiparasitic effects. All such drugs are prescribed only by the attending physician in combination with all other drugs( including other diseases).

In order to ease the period of exacerbation of dysbacteriosis, doctors recommend the use of dry heat - novocaine electrophoresis, warming compresses. In addition, coniferous or rhodonous baths are taken, which facilitates the condition and significantly reduces pain.

During periods when the disease does not manifest itself in any way, the patient is recommended to undergo a course of paraffin wraps, mud therapy or diathermy. And always it is necessary to strictly observe the diet coordinated with the doctor, regardless of whether it is an acute period or a remission.

How dangerous is dysbiosis?

The fact is that the intestinal microflora is extremely malleable in all senses. She reacts to everything - to physical activity, to stress, even to change the time of the year. And this is without taking into account the actual quantity and quality of food consumed by a person. Therefore, specialists distinguish stress, food, seasonal and age-related dysbacteriosis.

All these diseases affect the digestive system, but the danger is different and treated differently. The absolute majority of cases of atony and dysbiosis in adults is compensatory, such dysbacteriosis is eliminated quite easily. It is necessary only to stabilize the diet, reduce physical or stressful loads. However, cases associated with, for example, inflammatory or allergic processes, with mandatory antibiotic treatment, require increased attention of the physician. In the case of failure to provide assistance to such patients, atony and dysbacteriosis can go into a stable form, which is fraught with serious complications. It can even be candidomycosis of the intestine( a fairly serious disease with internal bleeding and a great danger of peritonitis).

At the first symptoms of dysbacteriosis - usual diarrhea and flatulence - it is necessary to analyze changes in eating behavior or external conditions. If the essence of the problem is only in this - the body itself will return to normal. When the symptoms are not justified - immediately consult a doctor.
