Treatment of neurosis of the stomach

Priority therapeutic factor in providing medical care to patients with gastro neurosis is psychotherapy, which corresponds to the general principles of treatment of neurotic disorders. Basically - it is personally oriented classes, individual and group. The goal is to achieve the patient's awareness of the psychological conflict that caused him a dyspeptic symptom complex, and also to rebuild the personal relationships that triggered the development of the neurosis, and to reorient the patient's attention from the symptoms of the diseases of the gastrointestinal tract to resolve the psychological conflict in the first place with himself.

Gastroenterological medicinal preparations are used in a complex of therapeutic measures. Their application has a dual purpose - biological (elimination of spastic phenomena - antispasmodics, normalization of littering, metabolic processes - enzymes, antacids, protection of the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines to preserve its structure and normalize the work - gastroprotectors); and also - psychotherapeutic (the patient should be sure that he is being treated, especially at the initial stages of treatment).

In the early stages of the disease, usually this is also enough, in more advanced cases, the treatment regimen includes psychopharmacology (antidepressants and tranquilizers).

Effective in the treatment of gastronews have shown themselves drugs based on the sodium salt of tianeptine, for example,  Coaxil, belonging to atypical tricyclic antidepressants energizing action. The active ingredient of the drug is neither soothing nor exciting, but is located in the gap between them. It stimulates the reuptake of serotonin by brain cells and the hippocampus involved in the regulation of emotional responses. Promotes the activation of the pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus, normalizes their functions. The patient improves his mood, normalizes his behavior, disappears physical complaints, anxiety and anxiety, increases the overall tone of the body. Assign, as a rule, two-time or triple reception of one tablet (12.5 mg). This antidepressant does not affect the work of the heart, sleep and memory, does not weaken attention. Dosing it is only necessary for the doctor's prescription, as this is a narcotic and can be addictive, withdrawal syndrome and other undesirable consequences.

Anti-ulcer gastroprotective agent  De-Nol  on the basis of bismuth subcitrate can also be included in the drug regimen for treatment of stomach neurosis. Its ability to form a protective mucous-bicarbonate layer on the surface of the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum, improve the blood circulation in the vessels of these organs has a beneficial effect on the work of these organs and the preservation of the normal structure of their epithelium. With excruciating acidic eructations, the drug helps to reduce the production of hydrochloric acid, by reducing its production, and reducing already secreted, by combining the active ingredient with pepsin. The daily dose is four tablets taken twice in two or one in four doses. The funds containing bismuth are not recommended for more than two months. It is not taken after a meal, with antacids and is not recommended to be washed down with milk.

To eliminate neurotic spasms, antispasmodics are used. The most popular antispasmodic  No-shpa is also  acceptable in this case. It can be prescribed to patients with gastralegia, gastric and intestinal spasms, spastic constipation, combination with cardiological symptoms, one tablet twice or thrice a day.

For elimination of insomnia, withdrawal of irritation and emotional excitement, light sedatives are prescribed, mostly of natural origin - valerian tablets, Novopassit, Glycine, drops - valerian, motherwort, peony, Corvalol. Basically, with a mild and moderate stage of neurosis try to dispense with a mild sedation. These are the drugs of choice.

Novopassit is a  multicomponent preparation containing active components of plant origin. Guaifenesin (anxiolytic from the bark of guaiac tree), extracts of mint lemon, St. John's wort, passionflower, elderberry and hawthorn flowers, as well as its leaves, valerian root soothe nerves, relieve anxiety and anxiety, eliminate gastroenterological and other organic symptoms. The drug can cause increased drowsiness, slight retardation and reduced concentration of attention.

The standard dose for irritable and excited patients suffering from hysteria, a teaspoon of drops during the morning, afternoon and evening meals. It can be taken undiluted or diluted with water. The maximum single dose - two teaspoons, with the appearance of the above-described side-effects in the morning and afternoon, take half a teaspoon, and before going to bed - a whole. When you stop worrying symptoms from the gastrointestinal tract, you can go to the preventive dose by taking one or two teaspoons of Novopassita once, before half an hour before the possible action of the stress factor.

Glycine  is used for various types of neuroses, accompanied by both emotional arousal and lability. The active substance - aminoacetic acid, physiological to our body, blocks α-adrenoreceptors. Has a stabilizing effect on the nervous system. Assign a whole tablet for resorption in the morning and in the evening, with sleep disorders - only in the evening. If necessary, you can increase the frequency of reception up to three times a day, the duration of treatment with Glycine usually is one to two weeks.

With neuroses accompanied by depressive symptoms, prescribe drugs with ginseng, eleutheroc, echinacea. Treatment is always individual, taking into account accompanying pathologies, tolerability of active components. Necessarily included in the scheme vitamins - ascorbic acid, group B, regulating the work of the nervous system, vitamin-mineral complexes.

Physiotherapeutic treatment also has a positive effect on the patient's nervous system. In neurology, various types of exposure to electrical impulse currents are used - darsonvalization, electrosleep, electrophoresis, electrostimulation; hydroprocedures - Charcot's shower, hydromassage; manual and mechanical massage.

Surgical treatment of neurosis of the stomach is not performed, if neurological symptoms accompany a peptic ulcer or neoplasms that require surgical intervention, then it must be done, but organic diseases do not concern neuroses.

Folk treatment

To eliminate psychoemotional arousal, anxiety, sleep disorders, gastroenterological symptoms that arise on the nerves, the recipes of traditional healers can be effective. Moreover, they have long been used by pharmacists, on this basis, many ready-made drugs have been created that have a milder effect on the nervous system than, for example, transquilizers.

However, before taking them, it is necessary to consult with your doctor. Perhaps, sessions of psychotherapy, physiotherapy procedures and the course of infusions of herbs will be enough.

Traditional healers recommend using onions and garlic, these vegetables have a valuable composition and, among all other advantages, contribute to the stabilization of the nervous system.
