    Author: Orlovskiĭ VF, Medvedev VN.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1991; 63(2):9-12. PubMed ID: 1675494.
    Abstract:
    Overall 260 women and 202 men were examined comparatively during duodenal ulcer exacerbation. 53.8% of the women demonstrated an atypical disease course. Fibrogastroscopy is a method of early diagnosis of duodenal ulcer in women. As compared to men, the size and depth of ulcers in women was less. Acid and peptic factor was also less pronounced. The four-week treatment with the use of the diet, antacids, gastrozepine and repair agents brought about ulcer healing in 82% of the women. The single and daily doses of antacids administered to women were 1.5 times less than in men. The use of H2-blockers is indicated in women with a severe course of peptic ulcer. The inclusion of antibacterial agents is indicated if the mucous membrane of the antral part of the stomach demonstrates Campylobacter pylori.
