Gut – organ of the digestive system that performs in the human body is very important, however, to date the pathology of the intestine are common. On the forefront of preventive examinations of the colon to prevent the development of various diseases. In this article we will talk about what methods of examinations of the intestinal tract offers medicine, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each method.
Gut – the body which is the abdominal cavity and is involved in the digestive process. It is the absorption of nutrients which are later released into the bloodstream. Undigested matter excreted in the feces along with intestinal gases.
The length of the human intestine reaches four meters. It inhabits a huge number of bacteria, which provide the processes of digestion, so it is important that the microflora of the body was in constant balance. Otherwise the body will fail, which will lead to the development of various pathologies. Disorders of the bowel may manifest variety of symptoms, among which the most obvious can be called borborygmus, flatulence, pain, diarrhea, constipation, chronic constipation, etc.
Bowel Disease, tend to have an infectious or parasitic nature. To infectious diseases include syphilis, tuberculosis, dysentery, etc.; to parasitic – scarabis, difillobotrioz, trichinosis, intestinal miaz, trihozefalez etc. To diagnose all these diseases are different ways of examinations of the intestinal tract.

The Anatomic structure of the organ is represented by two segments:
The small intestine is between the stomach and large intestine. It is the process of digestion. This intestine is divided into the following components:
Small intestine got its name due to the fact that in comparison with the anatomical structure of the colon has a less thick and strong walls. In addition, the diameter of its divisions is much smaller.
Colon – this is the lower part of the digestive tract, where the absorbed water and the formation of feces. Its length is about 1.5–2 m.
The colon is represented by the segments:
I Must say that the methods of examination of the intestine is very similar for both small intestine and colon departments, although there are nuances.
To date, the pathology of the intestine are common. Unfortunately, often there are severe disease – cancerous tumors. Each year are diagnosed worldwide about 1 million new cases of colorectal cancer. Half of the patients who are diagnosed with the disease, dies. Cancer of the intestine occupies a leading position among all malignant tumors. Therefore, it is important to conduct preventive examinations of the colon to prevent the development of diseases.
Modern methods of diagnostics allow to detect various pathologies of the intestine at early stages and to start immediate treatment, which increases the patient's chances for a speedy recovery or at least maintaining the quality of his life at a good level. More popular is the diagnosis of diseases of the colon, because of serious disturbances occur in these sections of the intestine. Medicine offers patients a range of diagnostic methods of this body, including:
Among all available methods of diagnostics of this method is the most painless and quite informative. The essence of the research lies in the fact that the patient swallows a capsule equipped with a video camera. Once in the human body, “device” travels in all departments of the gastrointestinal tract, making a photo every two seconds. Data from the chip are processed by a special program, and on the basis of the obtained results made medical conclusions.
For the procedure you must first prepare. Before the manipulation is prohibited eating, the study is performed on an empty stomach. On the body of the person holding the device, which will capture the results of the study. The diagnostic procedure takes about eight hours, during which the patient leads a normal way of life – his own business, not breaking the daily rhythm. After the examination, the capsule dissolves and is excreted from the body in a natural way.
Most modern methods of examination of the intestines today is presented using videocapsule,although this method has its drawbacks. Such manipulation is very costly. The fact that “smart” capsules cost about 1 thousand. E., and offer them only two countries – Japan and Israel, the leaders on the market of such services. In CIS countries while there is no domestic production of diagnostic chips.
An Endoscope – an optical device that is used in medicine for the study of hollow organs, e.g., esophagus, stomach, intestines. In most cases, it is introduced through a natural body opening, at least – through sections.
Endoscopic methods of examination of the intestine is prescribed if there is suspicion for the presence of colon polyps or tumors. Prior to the procedure, the patient should be carefully prepare the body – to cleanse the bowel. Today this measure is easily performed by means of special medicines. The doctor inserts into the rectum ultrasonic transducer, which allows to consider in detail the lining and the condition of the walls of the organ being examined. In order to Refine the results during the procedure may be performed sampling of biological material for further laboratory tests.
Endoscopic ultrasound of the colon is carried out in most cases, except for the moments when the patient's present disease of the heart and blood vessels or lungs. It is connected directly with the necessity of taking special drugs. However, the feasibility of such studies is decided individually in each case.
Colonoscopy – a method of research, based on the use of special device – fibrocolonoscope – plastic harness with an optical system. A similar study is recommended for preventive purposes to perform every five years, people over forty years and those who have a heredity burdened by oncological pathologies of the intestine.
Before procedure it is necessary to clean the intestines with the help of drugs. Typically, a colonoscopy lasts no more than 30–40 minutes, however is quite unpleasant procedure. The patient may experience discomfort due to the fact that the intestine is filled with air, and a sensation of bloating. Methods of examination of the gut fibrocolonoscope also permits the sampling of biological material for histological analysis. In addition to diagnostic functions, allows colonoscopy to remove polyps or benign growths of small size. Using this technique you can also identify spikes in the intestine. The results of the study ready, as a rule, immediately after the manipulation.
Method of barium enema – this method of examination of the bowel using x-rays. Prior to the procedure, the patient should be carefully prepare the body – to cleanse the intestines, eating is not allowed. Before the test introduced into the body in liquid, within which there is radio-opaque drug – barium sulfate. The essence of the research is as follows. Once in the gastrointestinal tract, the solution fills the region of the intestine and allows the photographs to appreciate the contours and extent of the lumen of the intestine. The procedure can be supplemented by another manipulation. After the contrast agent is excreted into the intestinal tract of build up of air – it gives an additional opportunity to consider in detail the contours of the parts of the organ.
This technique makes it possible to diagnose fistulas, malformations at birth, ulcers, scars, however, is not sufficiently informative. The procedure is considered relatively safe, because in the process of the study organism is exposed to a radiation load.
Another way to diagnose bowel disease is imaging magnetic resonance, which builds on the study of the magnetic field. This procedure is painless and considered safe, as it does not carry the radial load on the body. Before you need to clean the intestines, and immediately before the manipulation – to enter into the body, a contrast drug. The study itself takes no more than ten minutes and allows you to detect serious disorders in the intestine, up to malignant tumors.
I Must say that the diagnosis should be comprehensive, so the above manipulations are added means of clinical examination of the intestine. To identify dysbiosis make a sample of the feces, in addition, can be rectal and bacteriological examination. The patient's blood is taken – usually performed and biochemical and clinical analysis of the material. Modern methods of diagnostics, however, will not replace digital rectal examination.
As noted earlier, most serious diseases affect the colon, but the disease of the small intestine also occur. Diagnosis usually begins with a study of the duodenum,located between the stomach and large intestine. For these purposes, appoint fibroscope or endoscopy, can additionally resort to the barium enema or x-ray. A few days before manipulation of the patient is recommended to stick to a certain diet.
With the help of endoscopy can not only diagnose the intestine, but also to remove polyps, stop bleeding, position the probe for the receipt of food. The most modern method of diagnosis of small bowel diseases is considered dwuhvalentny enteroscopy, which is performed under General anesthesia. This procedure is considered sufficient heavy and is performed only in a hospital. The Murcia prescribed for bleeding in the region of the small intestine, by obstruction.
Thus, capsule study, upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, barium enema and MRI – basic methods by which the diagnosis and examination of the intestine. I must say that, in General, a pathological state of the organ to be diagnosed more often in women, but this is due only to the fact that the beautiful half of humanity are carefully watching their health and consciously undergoes a medical examination in the preventive purposes. There is a perception that these diseases are peculiar to people with wealth, because they increasingly allow themselves refined foods.
