Inflammation of the duodenum, usually resulting from Helicobacter pylori or the use of alcohol, tobacco, or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
Duodenitis is a condition characterized by the inflammation of the duodenum, which is the initial segment of the small intestine. This disorder typically presents with nonspecific gastrointestinal complaints. Its diagnosis is established through a medical procedure known as esophagogastroduodenoscopy, which involves inspecting the lining of the upper part of the digestive system using a bendable viewing device. The therapeutic approach for managing duodenitis closely resembles that employed for treating a duodenal ulcer.
