Treatment Methods for Duodenitis at Top Ichilov
The causes of duodenitis can vary, and the treatment method is selected accordingly.
- Often, the disease develops as a result of gastritis with increased acidity. In this case, gastric acid enters the duodenum, causing inflammation and destruction. In such cases, patients are prescribed medications that reduce acid production. Additionally, mucosal protective and healing medications – gastroprotectors – are recommended, as well as antispasmodics that enhance motility. To reduce the load on the stomach and duodenum and improve the digestive process, enzymatic agents are prescribed.
Sometimes, very rarely, duodenitis occurs with decreased acidity – then medications containing hydrochloric acid are prescribed.
- One of the most common causes of the disease is the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. In this case, it is important to combat the source of infection as soon as possible. Therefore, modern antibiotics that quickly and effectively eliminate the bacteria are prescribed. Less frequently, the infectious nature of the disease may be triggered by the presence of Giardia and helminths in the body. In such cases, antiparasitic medications are prescribed.
- Inflamed areas of the mucosa are destroyed using a laser. The doctor introduces an endoscope through the oral cavity, observing the procedure with the help of X-rays, and then irradiates the inflammation focus with a laser beam.
- In cases of chronic ulcerative-erosive duodenitis, radiofrequency ablation is used. The procedure scheme is the same as with laser therapy, but in this case, ulcers, cracks, and erosions are cauterized using radio waves. The probe is heated to a high temperature at the site of impact, leading to destruction and subsequent scarring of the tissue.
- Treatment of chronic duodenitis in Israel is also conducted using physiotherapeutic methods. Ultrasound phonophoresis accelerates biochemical reactions, stimulates metabolism, which contributes to better absorption of medications and faster recovery of the body. Healing mud from the Dead Sea is used in galvanopelotherapy (electro-mud therapy). Bags of mud, heated to 38-42°C, are placed on the skin under electrodes. Mud compresses have anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, relieve spasms, and enhance secretory function. The Alfa TM capsule improves metabolic processes in the body, promoting faster recovery.
- Balneotherapy – treatment with Dead Sea waters. Mineral-rich water enhances the effect of treatment.
Treatment of chronic duodenitis in Israel is most often conducted comprehensively. To achieve a state of complete remission, the patient must strictly adhere to the prescribed diet, take medications, and undergo necessary procedures. As a result, patients are completely cured, and the disease does not return.
