I have chronic enteritis, why don't doctors give anti-inflammatory drugs?

The incidence 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 after timely diagnosis and treatment, it is generally easy to recover.

Chronic enteritis is not the case, except for a few clear etiologies, such as intestinal tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, radiation enteritis caused by radiotherapy 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 concurrent bacterial and viral infections, or serious complications, anti-inflammatory drugs are generally not used. what works.

In the past, we thought that the incidence of non-specific enteritis in China was lower than that in developed countries, but in recent years, it has gradually increased. Therefore, we now think that the incidence of non-specific enteritis in China is not low, but that our doctors did not have enough diagnosis of non-specific enteritis.

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

Therefore, immunosuppressants, such as hormones, are often used in the treatment of non-specific enteritis, and there are often western medicines and aminosalicylic acid preparations, such as mesalazine, sulfasalazine, etc. Pay attention to the use of these drugs Regular monitoring of liver and kidney function and peripheral blood. Traditional 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.
