Scientific Basis of Drinking Balneotherapy at Erosive Ulcers of Stomach and Duodenum in Damped Exacerbation Phase
The research objective is to estimate the efficiency of the combined application of standard antiulcer drug and drinking mineral waters of Essentuki type of various mineralization according to scientific basis of the choice of optimal mineral water at erosive ulcers of stomach and duodenum in damped exacerbation phase. Material and methods: observation of 100 patients with chronic erosive gastro-duodenitis and anticipate peptic ulcer of dodecadactylon. Results: the author mentioned that the most physiologic is the application of low-mineralized mineral water due to its less expressed hormone-stimulating but sufficient hormone-moduling effect. It was visually reflected in terms of erosion epithelialization and ulcer cicatrization: the reduction of number of erosive ulcers at application of low-mineralized mineral water was on the 1- 2 week of the treatment in clinic in 72% of the patients. At the mineralized water use, it was revealed the improvement only on the end of the 2-3 week (pl-2<0,05). The total effectiveness of the use of low-mineralized Essentuki-new mineral water was 81,4%, and at the use of medium-salt mineral water MV "Essentuki-4" was 63,8% (pl-2<0,05). Conclusion: application of drinking mineral waters in combination with antiulcer drug therapy at erosive ulcer of stomach and duodenum in damped exacerbation phase is effective and depends on physical and chemical features of mineral water.
