Dyskinesia of bile ducts in a child: causes, symptoms, treatment

Dyskinesia of bile ducts in a child can occur for various reasons. There is a pathology (in short, it is called DZHVP) in the malfunctions of the motor organ, in which bile accumulates. The hormones that secrete the duodenal mucosa are designed to regulate the contractions of the gallbladder. When, for some reason, irritation or inflammation occurs in the intestines, the outflow of bile is disrupted. Predisposes to the development of DZHVP such factor as the immaturity of the nervous system, which is characteristic of childhood, so the disorder is most often found just in children.

Causes

As a result of the violation of the functions of the central nervous system, past infections, internal diseases, malnutrition, allergies and intoxication of the body, dyskinesia of bile ducts in a child can develop. Pathology manifests itself in hypotonic form, when due to poor contraction of the gallbladder, bile flows out of it all the time, and hypertonic, when the abbreviated organ does not distinguish it. Causes of such phenomena include stomach diseases, viral hepatitis, endocrine-hormonal failures, intestinal infections, giardiasis. Violation of the secretion of bile in the gallbladder is also one of the causes of DZHVP. This can be due to anomalies in the development of the organ.

Dyskinesia of bile ducts: types and characteristic symptoms

There are two types of DZHVP. The first - hypertonic hyperkinetic - is manifested by paroxysmal pains that appear in the hypochondrium on the right side, which can sometimes irradiate under the shoulder blade and shoulder. Typically, soreness occurs after physical activity, malnutrition, emotional stress. At the same time, the pain sensations do not differ in duration and are quickly stopped by spasmolytic drugs. During a period of pain that causes biliary dyskinesia, a child may have anxiety, headache, frequent urination, nausea. The rest of the time, the baby feels well. But periodically after eating chilled foods or soda can complain about a short spastic pain in the area of the right hypochondrium.

In the hypokinetic-hypotonic type of dyskinesia of the bile ducts, the child clinically manifests a non-intensive, dull, aching, but most often permanent pain in the hypochondrium from the right side. Painful sensations can be accompanied by a feeling of bitterness in the mouth, lack of appetite, nausea.

Treatment

Regardless of what causes dyskinesia biliary tract symptoms, treatment will be based on limiting physical exertion, sparing diet and providing positive emotions. The child is recommended fractional five meals with the exception of fatty, too sharp, roasted dishes, smoked foods, canned food. In addition to diet, medication is prescribed, aimed at normalizing the functions of the nervous system.
