The abdominal pain of enteritis is mostly characterized by paroxysmal abdominal cramps, but can also be characterized by intermittent vague pain. This has a certain relationship with the type and location of enteritis.
Gastrointestinal symptoms of acute enteritis mainly manifest as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Most of the abdominal pain occurs in the upper abdomen, and in severe cases, paroxysmal abdominal cramps may occur. Systemic symptoms such as fever, dehydration, acidosis and upper gastrointestinal bleeding may occur in severe cases of acute enteritis.
Gastrointestinal symptoms of chronic enteritis mainly manifest as intermittent abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal distension, dyspepsia, which may be accompanied by a sensation of anal descent, and irregular bowel movements.
Patients with chronic enteritis may suffer from malnutrition due to long-term inflammatory stimulation, absorption disorders and other factors, which may be accompanied by generalized symptoms of discomfort such as blanched face, lack of spirit and fatigue. Some cases only show symptoms of indigestion such as epigastric distension, epigastric discomfort, anorexia, belching and acid reflux.
If there is any discomfort, it is recommended that patients under the guidance of a doctor for regular treatment, not self-medication, so as not to cause adverse consequences.
