Description:
Intestinal colic - the sharp pristupoobrazny pains caused by these or those changes of intestines.
Symptoms of Intestinal colic:
The brightest clinical signs of this disease: 1) pristupoobrazny, spasmodic intestines pains; 2) swelling and rumbling of intestines; 3) frustration of a chair (locks or ponosa); 4) mucifying in the form of white tapes or tubes. The allergic nature of mucous colic is confirmed by existence in excrements of eosinophils and sharp-pointed crystals (as in a phlegm at bronchial asthma).
Attacks of colic come after nervous shocks, conflict situations. During a colic attack the palpation of an abdominal cavity establishes spastic the reduced large intestine, very painful. However muscular tension does not happen, temperature remains normal. Duration of an attack of mucous colic happens various — from several minutes to one days. Out of a colic attack patients have locks with allocation "sheep" a calla.
At poisoning with lead the lead intestinal colica which is characterized by attacks of severe pains develops, the stomach at the same time is pulled in, the abdominal wall is strained. Long locks, on gingivas a gray border are observed, other symptoms of lead intoxication come to light.
Reasons of Intestinal colic:
The pathogeny of intestinal colic is very difficult. In some cases pains are connected with stretching of intestinal loops with their peritoneal cover, in others — with irritation of nerve terminations in an intestinal wall owing to a tension of a mesentery of small bowels. But the major role in origins of intestinal pains is played by the broken intestinal motility: tone, peristaltics, stretching and spasms of intestinal loops.
So, for example, at impassability of intestines of pain are connected with the strengthened stenotic peristaltics in the intestines piece located above the place of an obstacle. At colitis and coloenterites they are connected with stretching and with peristaltic reductions of the intestinal wall changed owing to inflammatory process.
Treatment of Intestinal colic:
Intestinal colic it is possible and it is necessary to remove. For this purpose apply known already to us drugs - spasmolysants, but with some "intestinal accent" (i.e. preferential acting on a gut). Unlike bilious and renal gripes, at intestinal colic (if there is no vomiting) medicine is taken inside. Possibly in house conditions to apply the following options of treatment:
1. 2 tablets of Nospanum to wash down with a glass of warm broth of mint;
2. extract of "a dry belladonna" (in "gastric tablets", the drug "Becarbonum", "Besalolum", "bellalgin" and "bellataminal" - 1-2 tablets, and also in rectal candles);
3. papaverine tablets with Platyphyllinum - 1-2 tablets;
4. a warm medical enema with broth of mint or a melissa (200 ml);
5. the drug Smecta (1 powder on 100 ml of water).
"Simple" intestinal colic after such treatment passes, quite often after a passage of flatus and a single liquid chair.
The patient within 6-12 hours after that should not eat anything; it is possible to have warm rather weak unsweetened tea with crouton.
