Intestinal dysbacteriosis recentlyexhibited about as often as ORZ during an epidemic. This situation is observed around the world. So what is intestinal dysbiosis - a real disease, or simply the inability of the doctor to correctly identify the root cause of violations in the functioning of the intestine?
The person is constantly in contact withmicroorganisms in the environment, some of them generally live on the skin and mucous membranes, and even inside the body. The human intestine contains the largest number of them. Evolutionarily it happened that both the human body and microorganisms benefit from such cooperation (symbiosis).
Bacteria symbionts get substances thatthey need to livelihoods, as well as a favorable habitat. However, they help to digest food, synthesizing enzymes, participate in the regulation of water-salt balance, and also provide cholesterol, hormones, bile acids in the intestine. In addition, they synthesize many vital substances (vitamins, hormones, antibiotics, and so on), a variety of toxins are neutralized. They play a huge role in maintaining immunity: beneficial microorganisms supplant pathogenic bacteria that enter the digestive tract, thereby preventing the colonization of extraneous microbes.
In violation of the natural balancemicroorganisms (when changing the quantitative and qualitative composition) intestinal dysbiosis develops. A great many reasons can lead to such a failure: from a banal overeating or an emotionally intense day to the onset of severe pathology. The only difference is that if the body is healthy, the violation will be very short, the balance will fully recover in a few hours. In a weakened body, the normal microflora dies, giving way to pathogenic colonies and fungi.
Usually intestinal dysbiosis - standardThe diagnosis associated with the occurrence of a violation of the chair. If the diagnosis is made, then it is necessary to prescribe the appropriate therapy, designed to restore the natural balance of microorganisms. However, after such therapy, the restoration of normal microflora can be only a temporary phenomenon.
Intestinal dysbiosis in children has itssmall feature: it is initially sterile. With the passage of the baby through the birth canal of the mother begins colonization of intestinal microorganisms. At the initial stages, this microflora is represented by various organisms that are not typical of this localization, but gradually, under the influence of the growth factors of breast milk, it is replaced with a normal one. That is why it is necessary to start as early as possible and continue breastfeeding the baby as long as possible.
У детей в старшем возрасте причины дисбактериоза similar to the causes in adults: stress, unhealthy diet, taking antibiotics or other drugs (for example, cytostatics), and so on.
Intestinal dysbiosis ismicrobiological phenomenon, which characterizes the imbalance of intestinal microflora representatives. This is just a symptom that accompanies any disease or disruption of the normal functioning of the body, that is, there is an objective reason that caused the massive death of symbiotic bacteria. All attempts to settle the bacteria "from the outside" are doomed to failure. Since the reasons for their death have not disappeared, the same will happen with the "newcomers."
It is always necessary to establish the cause of the occurrence of dysbiosis, since the restoration of microflora is meaningless without identifying and eliminating the pathology that caused it.
