Why there are pains in the stomach after eating.

Most often, if a person complains of pain in the stomach after eating, he has a detailed ulcerative process with detailed diagnostic tests. Gastric ulcer is an acute inflammation of the mucosa, i.e. The innermost shell of the stomach, in which, in addition to inflammatory phenomena, there are areas with naked, erosive surfaces, where this mucosa is absent.

The mechanism of development of both stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers is still considered an open question in medicine. It is believed that in the development of ulcers, a significant role is played by the so-called aggression factors, which during the exacerbation prevail over the specific factors of protection available in the stomach. The first include hydrochloric acid, bile acids, pepsin. This can also be classified as an infectious factor, represented by the H. Pylori bacterium. To the protective mechanisms hidden in the walls of the stomach, it should be classified as mucus secreted in it, good regenerative capacity of the mucosa, abundant blood supply to this area, synthesis of prostaglandins. In a healthy body, the factors of aggression are always in balance with the protective factors.

If this balance is disturbed, there are pains in the stomach. Symptoms that accompany ulcers, however, are not limited to pain effects alone. Often people who suffer from an ulcer can see dyspepsia syndrome. It is characterized by the appearance of heartburn, eructation, a feeling of nausea, which, with a strong sensitivity, can go into vomiting, a feeling of overflow in the stomach, etc. However, the pain syndrome in the epigastric region is considered to be the leading disease in peptic ulcer, it is possible to roughly determine the localization of the ulcerative defect.

If the pain does not occur immediately after eating, but after a period of time, after two to three hours or at night, it is believed that the ulcer is in duodenum or duodenum. If a patient experiences stomach pain after eating almost immediately or after 30-60 minutes, the defect is most likely to be located in the stomach itself. Pain can easily provoke errors in the diet, when a person uses a sharp or overcooked food. Sometimes an ulcer can simulate heart disease, for example, an attack of cardiac asthma, angina or even a heart attack.

If the patient constantly senses stomach pain after eating and has been diagnosed with a "peptic ulcer", then he should immediately begin active treatment. It should always be remembered that gastric ulcers often have complications than the same defects of the duodenum. With the ulcer of the stomach, stenosis of the pylorus (gatekeeper) is very quickly formed, which negatively affects the patient's condition. Stenosis inhibits the normal evacuation of food taken and digested in the stomach, it stays in it for a long time, wanders, provokes vomiting. Even if a person eats, the food is not fully digested. The patient starts to grow thin and lose strength. The incessant pain in the stomach after eating or arising independently of it can indirectly indicate the degeneration of the ulcerative process into an oncological process. The percentage of transformation of stomach ulcers into cancer is very high.

What to do with stomach pain? The answer is one - go to the doctor and be examined. This will help to quickly detect a pathological focus and begin a course of active antiulcer therapy. It includes a number of basic principles:

• Strict adherence to the diet, which is based on the maximum shaking of the walls of the gastric mucosa;
• Rejection of existing bad habits;
• Physical and, most importantly, emotional rest for the period of intensive treatment;
• Drug therapy that reduces excess gastric secretion, protects the mucous membrane, which has a harmful effect on H. Pylori, restoring motor skills and gastric emptying.
