At the present time, at the stage of deep knowledge inmedicine, the symptomatology of the disease and the subjective feelings of the patient play a huge role, since it is on the basis of these data that a preliminary diagnosis is made. Of course, such a diagnosis requires laboratory or instrumental confirmation. However, even at the stage of setting a preliminary (presumptive) diagnosis, the patient is prescribed an appropriate treatment regimen.
That's why the picture is so importantmanifestations of the disease. So, in addition to the main complaints that patients present - pain, soreness and others - there is a whole group of signs that characterize the change in the state of the body.
To such signs it is possible to carry a character andfrequency of urination, stool size and its characteristics (color, consistency, odor, presence of impurities of undigested food, presence of blood impurities, presence of mucus).
What are the reasons for the appearance of mucus in the feces of an adult? There is a huge number of diseases, which are characterized by a stool with an admixture of mucus.
More often than not, the appearance of mucus in the stool can indicate the use of a product that can cause such a reaction of the body.
Sometimes mucus in the feces of an adult occurs whencolds and runny nose. Another cause of mild stool may be the presence of any acute intestinal infection. This is the manifestation of dysentery and some intestinal infections of the viral etiology.
Chair with mucus in an adult of a long-lasting nature,especially after the transferred or carried disease, accompanied by reception of antibacterial preparations, can testify to presence of a dysbacteriosis of an intestine. By the way, the treatment of dysbiosis is very difficult, since the restoration of the proper ratio of the microflora that was in the intestinal cavity is practically not possible. Restoration of the microbial biocenosis in a different ratio leads to a violation of the digestion of certain substances, as well as to a violation of the synthesis of vitamins.
Hyperproduction of mucus leads to somethe displacement of the water balance in the body, since moisture is consumed on the production of mucus. In addition, feces with mucus in an adult, as a rule, is more moistened and the act of defecation has the character of diarrhea. First of all, this is due to the fact that mucus on the surface of stool hinders the reverse absorption of fluid in the ascending, transverse and descending sections of the large intestine.
In cases where mucus in the feces of an adultpersists for a long time, as well as the patient notes pain in the abdomen, you need to seek medical help from a doctor. After collecting the anamnesis and conducting the basic (general) analyzes, and the same some specific manipulations and diagnostic procedures, the doctor will be able to identify the cause of the disease and make a decision on its elimination (effective treatment).
Often, when a doctor is asked to complain aboutmucus in the feces of an adult, a diagnostic and relevant procedure is the sowing of feces for nutrient media. This microbiological study is aimed at establishing a microorganism that causes irritation of the mucosa and hyperproduction of mucus. Having ascertained the type of causative agent of this or that intestinal infection (and in 90% of cases in the presence of mucus in the adult's chair - this is the intestinal infection), a number of further diagnostic procedures are performed to determine the pathogen strain, and also establish its antibiotic sensitivity. Only after finding out all the necessary features of the microorganism, the doctor can adjust the treatment scheme, taking into account the existing table of sensitivity of the pathogen to antimicrobial drugs.
