Intestine can be divided into two main departments:

• large intestine;
• small intestine.

Small intestine can also be divided into:

• iliac;
• skinny;
• is a duodenum.

Large intestine, in turn, is subdivided into:

• straight( with an anal aperture);
• sigmoid;
• descending;
• transverse;
• ascending.

Diagnosis of the intestine

Recently, the diagnosis of bowel diseases takes a huge place in medical practice, which is associated, of course, with improper diet and poor-quality food. Let's take a closer look at the methods and methods of intestinal diagnostics.

Diagnosis of the small intestine

The most common symptom of small bowel disease is abdominal pain .It can not be considered as an early manifestation of the disease.

Pain often does not have clear boundaries, it is fixed in the mesogastric area, strengthened after meals, at night and in the evening. Strengthening of peristalsis can be heard at a distance, which indicates an organic lesion of the small intestine.

Dyspeptic status( loose stool with remnants of undigested food, vomiting and nausea) often( but not necessarily) accompany small bowel disorders.

Intestinal bleeding is a vivid symptom that speaks of inflammatory or tumor lesions. It usually manifests as a black stool, "coffee grounds"( when vomiting).

It is quite possible to develop such diseases as acute and chronic anemia.

Some tumor( lymphosarcoma, cancer) and inflammatory( Crohn's disease, enteritis) processes occur with severe exhaustion, fever, intoxication.

General symptoms of the disease:

• hypovitaminosis;
• pallor of the skin;
• weight loss.

Palpation shows the presence of an inflammatory or tumor conglomerate.

In severe intra-abdominal complications( acute obstruction, perforation of intestinal walls and the like), symptoms of irritation of the abdominal region occur.

Diagnosis of diseases of the small intestine is often carried out using radiography, fluoroscopy and a nasogastric tube with barium fluid.

Also widely used are such methods of intestinal diagnostics as endoscopy and laparoscopy.

Diagnosis of the large intestine

Methods for diagnosis of the large intestine:

• endoscopic examination;
• X-ray examination;
• laboratory study.

Endoscopic examination includes:

• palpation of the rectum;
• laparoscopy;
• fibroconoscopy;
• sigmoidoscopy;
• anoscopy.

X-ray examination consists of:

• MRI( magnetic resonance imaging);
• CT( computed tomography);
• proton emission tomography;
• ultrasound( ultrasound);
• transrectal ultrasound;
• Irrigoscopy.

The laboratory study includes:

• biochemical blood test;
• clinical blood test;
• analysis for oncomarkers.

Clinical manifestations of diseases of the large intestine:

• anal itching;
• of tenesmus;
• stool incontinence;
• stool retention;
• loose stool;
• purulent discharge from the rectum;
• bleeding from the rectum;
• pain in the anus;
• abdominal pain;
• anemia.

Diagnosis of intestinal dysbiosis

The diagnosis of a dysbacteriosis is made as a result of research of a clinical picture, deterioration or neutral state of an organism after reception of antibiotics.

To confirm the correctness of the diagnosis made use the data of laboratory observations( serological and bacteriological).

Diagnosis of bowel cancer

Diagnosis is made using a combined series of studies:

• analysis of feces for occult blood;
• sigmoidoscopy( endoscopic examination of the intestine);
• colonoscopy( the most accurate method of diagnosis);
• virtual colonoscopy using computed tomography( a series of virtual X-ray and computer video images);
• is a barium enema( a series of X-ray photographs).

Intestinal cancer detected in the early stages of the disease is subject to successful treatment.

For this you should only seek medical help in time.

Complex intestinal diagnostics can be performed at the State Scientific Center for Coloproctology, located at Moscow, Salyama Adilya St., house 2.

The nearest metro stops are Oktyabrskoye Pole, Sokol, Polezhaevskaya.

Phone: 8( 499) 642 54 40.

The average cost of a comprehensive examination of the intestine is about 20,000 rubles.
