Hernia on the esophagusdiaphragm, which looks like a strongly protruding wall, is commonly called a hernia of the stomach. The diaphragm is a thin muscular plate that is located between the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity, it divides the cavity data and isolates the organs (lungs, aorta and heart) from the gastrointestinal tract and other abdominal organs. It has only one relatively large opening through which the esophagus passes.
При несоблюдении режимов питания и отдыха, heavy physical activity there is a disease of a hernia of the stomach, which in itself can not serve as an occasion for strong anxiety. Very often the presence of this disease does not require emergency treatment.
В мировой медицинской практике существует an agreement that was reached with the participation of major specialists in the field of gastroenterology, who have extensive experience in the treatment of hernias that have arisen in the esophagus of the diaphragm. This agreement establishes the following rules:
Causes of hernia formation
The main causes of hernia diseasethe stomach is considered to be a violation of the rules and norms of food intake, smoking and the abuse of strong alcoholic beverages. If a patient is diagnosed with a hernia in the esophageal diaphragm, he must organize his life in a different way. It is necessary not only to undergo a course of conservative treatment, which includes procedures aimed at eliminating the causes for which gastric contents are thrown into the esophageal opening, as well as to eliminate the consequences of such a reflux. The patient must give up the habits that caused the disease.
Symptoms of the diaphragmatic hernia
With a disease such as a stomach hernia, symptomsmanifest themselves in the form of pain. Most often this is observed immediately after an unbearable meal, with disproportionate physical exertion and lifting of heavy cargo. Tinea pain can occur with coughing and with flatulence, such a symptom is sometimes mistaken for the initial stage of pancreatitis. The pain may disappear or decrease after inhalation, vomiting, belching, changes in body position and the intake of alkaline solutions.
When diagnosed with a hernia of the stomach, the pain is usually moderate, dull, sometimes very strong and worse when the body is tilted forward, especially if there is an inflammatory process and erosion.
Inflammation and tissue erosiondiaphragms are the reason for urgent surgical treatment of the disease of the hernia of the stomach, and medical practice does not know any other methods of healing without the use of surgical intervention. Each patient should remember that the process of transferring the operation "for later" in some cases can be extremely dangerous.
The first symptoms of hernia are notcause for strong concern, but serve as a call to action. It is necessary to control the diet and the amount of food, to reduce physical activity, not to drink alcohol. It is necessary to contact a medical institution where specialists will diagnose and determine the degree of hernia formation, on the basis of which further treatment methods will be indicated. Only an experienced gastroenterologist can decide on the timing and type of surgery required.
