Gastric ulcer - what does this mean
What happens during the disease - gastric ulcer
Единого механизма, обусловливающего возникновение боли у лиц, страдающих язвенной болезнью, нет. Боль может быть вызвана раздражением нервных окончаний дна язвы кислым содержимым или пищей. Стойкое повышение кислотности, перевозбуждение блуждающего нерва также могут способствовать возникновению спазмов.
Большая роль в язвообразовании отводится инфекции H. pylori, которая действует двояко: с одной стороны — бактерии прикрепляются к клеткам, вырабатывают токсины и вызывают воспаление, что делает слизистую оболочку чувствительнее к воздействию агрессивных факторов; с другой — вырабатывают определённые вещества, из-за чего клетки желудка вырабатывают излишнюю соляную кислоту.
