Duodenitis is characterized by epigastric pain, dyspepsia, melena, etc.

Clinical manifestations of duodenitis

1. epigastric pain

When suffering from duodenitis, the patient will experience pain in the upper abdomen or under the xiphoid process, and the pain attacks are rhythmic and repetitive, mostly occurring at night. Fasting symptoms are obvious and can be relieved after eating.

2. dyspepsia

If suffering from duodenitis, it will also reduce gastrointestinal digestion and absorption function, leading to accumulation and fermentation of a large amount of food in the gastrointestinal tract, such as fullness, acid reflux, belching, etc.
