Digestive system

Diarrhoea is usually caused by an imbalance in the intestinal flora or an increase in the number of pathogenic microorganisms such as rotaviruses and bacteria such as Clostridium difficile. With acute diarrhoea, therapy lasts up to several days, while in the case of chronic diarrhoea, it takes at least three weeks. This is a common problem and generally does not pose a health risk but can cause discomfort if not addressed on time.

Did you know that stress, anxiety and other psychosomatic causes can cause diarrhoea?

H. pylori is a spiral bacteria that can be found on the human stomach lining and is the most common cause of gastritis, a chronic inflammatory reaction of the stomach. Infection begins with the entry of bacteria into the digestive system, and if left untreated, in most patients it lasts a lifetime.

A peptic ulcer is an injury to the walls of the stomach, duodenum or oesophagus caused by the aggressive action of gastric juices. A typical symptom that indicates the presence of peptic ulcer disease is pain that occurs immediately after a meal (in case of gastric ulcers) or a few hours after a meal (duodenal ulcers).
