by clinic
It is a disease that occurs as a result of inflammation of the inner surface of the stomach by the accumulation of white blood cells in the mucosa as a result of stimulation by various factors.
Causes more superficial damage than ulcers. However, it can penetrate deeper and erode to form ulcers.
Gastritis is mostly caused by bacterial infection.
Heavy meals, too dry and hard foods, pastries, sweets, bitter and spicy foods, alcohol, excessive consumption of tea and coffee, cigarette consumption, irregular eating habits, eating fast, taking too much medicine, fever, liver and liver diseases. gall bladder diseases, heart diseases or rheumatism are the factors that prepare gastritis.
One of the important factors causing gastritis is stress. Stressful people secrete too much acid, which increases the risk of gastritis.
Gastritis can be acute or chronic.
Symptoms of gastritis vary depending on whether it is acute or chronic. In acute gastritis, symptoms such as pain, gas, burping, burning, heartburn, nausea and vomiting are seen in the upper abdomen, while in chronic gastritis the pain is less pronounced and dyspeptic symptoms such as bloating and fullness after meals, early satiety, nausea, belching, loss of appetite and bad taste in the mouth are observed. complaints are more common.
When pain becomes evident in chronic gastritis, it is thought that ulcers or other diseases may have developed on the basis of gastritis.
Before starting treatment, it is necessary to determine the cause of the disease.
In the treatment of chronic gastritis caused by Helicobacter pylori (HP); First, the presence of bacteria in the stomach is determined by tests such as endoscopic biopsy, urea breath test, antibody-antigen search in blood and stool. Then, the bacteria is cleared from the stomach using some special drug regimens (antibiotic treatments). However, the effectiveness of this treatment is unfortunately not 100%.
In addition, reducing stomach acid by various methods relieves gastritis complaints to some extent.
If patients with gastritis use aspirin and rheumatic drugs, occult or open bleeding may be seen in acute gastritis following the use.
Gastritis Treatment with Acupuncture:
The patient’s body type, diet, and medications are examined by performing a classical examination and traditional Chinese Medicine examination. After giving the necessary advice on this subject, the psychological triggering factors that cause the patient’s stomach complaint are questioned. Because psychological stress factors come to the fore in stomach complaints. The person is given information about the biological clock. The biological clock is positively associated with a regular lifestyle; deterioration is also very important in terms of the formation of diseases. After all these basic diagnoses are made, a common diagnosis is reached. Acupuncture points that have both psychological and physical drug effects (the body’s natural drug secretion mechanism) are selected, and treatment is started in the body and the ear.
If deemed necessary, the treatment program is determined by adding auxiliary applications such as phytotherapy, magnetic field therapy, motion therapy, massage therapy, etc., in support of this treatment application.
The number of treatment sessions is also determined according to the degree of the person’s disease as a result of the examination. The approximate number of sessions varies between 8 and 15.
REFLUX (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX) DISEASE
In the normal digestive system, the foods taken from the mouth pass from the esophagus to the stomach and then to the intestines. As a result of the deterioration and irregularity of this peristaltic movement system at the level of the stomach and esophagus (the valves cannot do their job), the stomach contents go back into the esophagus.
Gastro Esophageal Reflux disease occurs when acidic or bile stomach contents come into the esophagus and come into contact for a long time, and the esophagus cannot protect itself from acid or bile stomach contents.
Stress, carbonated drinks, tea and coffee-type beverages increase reflux. Reflux patients have constant mouth gas, a burning sensation in the esophagus, a burning or gas sensation in the chest. Cardiac complaints may be encountered.
Reflux is seen in approximately 20% of adults. If reflux is not treated, it leads to formations called barrettes and then throat cancer after a long time.
The aim in the treatment of reflux with acupuncture is to eliminate the irregularity in this peristaltic movement system that causes the disease.
By applying acupuncture to special body and ear points, this system is ensured to work regularly. During this application, there is no need to give medication to the patient from the outside, and a non-surgical and drug-free solution is provided.
