I got chronic enteritis, why didn't the doctor give me anti-inflammatory drugs?

The onset of acute enteritis is generally related to intestinal infection or improper diet, such as bacterial and viral infection, parasite invasion, and intake of stale food. Its etiology is relatively clear, and it is generally easy to recover after timely diagnosis and treatment.

Chronic enteritis is not the case, except for a few clear causes, such as intestinal tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, radiation enteritis caused by radiation therapy of malignant tumors, and so on. The etiology of most chronic enteritis is not clear. These enteritis can be collectively referred to as non-specific enteritis. For non-specific enteritis, except for simultaneous bacterial and viral infections, or serious complications, anti-inflammatory drugs are generally not used. What does it do.

We used to think that the incidence of non-specific enteritis in China was lower than that in developed countries, but it has gradually increased in recent years, so now we think that it is not because of the low incidence in China, but because our doctors did not have enough diagnostic skills for non-specific enteritis in the past.

The etiology of nonspecific enteritis is not clear, and it is generally believed that it is related to environmental, psychological, genetic, allergic and immune factors.

Therefore, immunosuppressants are often used in the treatment of non-specific enteritis, such as hormones, and there are often western medicines and aminosalicylic acid preparations, such as mesalamine, sulfasalazine, etc., and attention should be paid to the use of these drugs Regular monitoring of liver and kidney function and peripheral blood. Chinese medicine treatment is also a good choice, and the side effects may be relatively small, but long-term use also requires regular monitoring of liver and kidney functions.

In addition, improving the living environment, avoiding overwork, and avoiding negative emotions such as anxiety, tension, and depression are also very important for non-specific enteritis.
