1 Pathogens

Inflammation of the colon can result from the influence of various factors that are classified into such groups:

1. Parasitosis: infection with worms.

1. Infections: inflammation can be triggered by microbes, viruses or trichomonads.

1. Autoimmune processes: human immunity takes the cells of the intestinal mucosa for foreign and produces antibodies to fight them, provoking an inflammatory process.

1. Genetic predisposition: inherited shortage of gastric elements and certain inflammatory diseases can affect the parents, and after - on their children.

1. Disrupted diet: frequent consumption of fatty foods, overeating, spicy and fried foods cause inflammation in any part of the digestive tract, often in its upper parts( small intestine and duodenum).

1. Abnormal circulatory process in the vessels of the intestinal walls due to narrowing of the arterial canal and atherosclerotic abnormalities.

The system of inflammatory process development refers to the fact that due to the influence of the pathogenic factor, cells of the mucosa die,(hyperemia), there is a disruption of the work( nutrients are not absorbed, the cells of the diseased zone do not produce substances) and soreness.

Inflammation of the large intestine is divided into several types, which is caused by the localization of the inflammatory focus:

1. Enteritis.

Inflammation of the small intestine is determined, the phenomenon has the property to arise only in a separate area or damage the entire small intestine.

1. Duodenitis.

The disorder is noted only in the duodenum. Pathology begins with the first section of the small intestine or bulb of the duodenum( in this area the stomach passes into the small intestine).

1. Mesadenitis.

Inflammatory process of the lymph nodes of the intestine is noted. Often viruses and infections serve as provocateurs of ailment.

1. Colitis.

The inflammatory process of the large intestine is noted. The phenomenon develops due to autoimmune processes, infections. Inflammation of the mucosa is also called "colitis."As a rule, the entire large intestine is affected, but there is an inflammatory process in the lower part of the large intestine.

Disease of the colon can be divided into acute and chronic form. In turn, the acute form lasts no more than a month, and the chronic form lasts from six months or more.

1. Unstable stool, the development of diarrhea. If you are concerned about constipation, then perhaps this is a signal about inflammation of the large intestine. Such a sign can speak of mucosal inflammation, can develop as a result of improper digestion of useful components by the small intestine.

1. Anemia( anemia) can occur due to lack of iron in the body, which occurs due to damage to the intestine.

1. Increased body temperature, which is noted very often during pathology.

3 Diagnosis

Diagnosis for inflammation of the intestines of the lower part is needed to establish an accurate diagnosis, the root causes and the location of the inflammation.

For diagnostics use a number of methods of instrumental and laboratory research.

1. Bacterial stool test: a procedure is performed to establish the presence of microbes, to determine susceptibility to antibiotics in order to prescribe the right treatment.

1. Clinical analysis of blood: an increase in the rate of erythrocyte sedimentation and the number of leukocytes makes it possible to establish the presence of inflammation in the body.

1. Fibroesophagogastroduodenoscopy( PHEGS).This is an endoscopic check of the duodenum and gastric mucosa using a special tube with a camera. If necessary, a piece of mucosa is taken for further testing( this procedure is called biopsy).

1. Coprogram. This procedure is a study of stool. Thanks to it you can determine the work of the intestines, the lack of gastric components.

1. Colonoscopy. It is carried out by the same mechanism as the FEGDS, the only difference is that the tube is inserted through the anal passage. In this case, the examination of the intestine, mucosa, and the location of the center of inflammation is determined.

1. Video encapsulation endoscopy. This method of verification is improved. During the procedure, the patient swallows the capsule, which is equipped with a camera and lighting. The capsule passes through the intestinal parts per day, and the data is transmitted via radio waves to the computer. This method of examination makes it possible to determine the state of the intestinal mucosa.
