Treatment of functional disorders of internal organs

What are functional disorders of internal organs and why do they occur

Functional disorders of internal organs are conditions in which pathological changes in the functioning of one or several organs occur not due to organic diseases but as a result of regulatory disturbances. The main causes of such disorders include:

• Stress and emotional factors: the higher the level of stress, the greater the likelihood of disorders arising.
• Poor nutrition: an unhealthy diet can lead to disruptions in the functioning of digestive organs.
• Insufficient physical activity: a sedentary lifestyle can cause disturbances in the functioning of the intestines and other organs.
• Hormonal changes: affect the normal functioning of various organs and systems.

Main disorders and their symptoms

The doctors at "Dobrobut" are engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. Most often, patients come to them with the following disorders:

Prostatitis — is inflammation of the prostate gland, which can be acute or chronic. Symptoms may include pain in the pelvic area, groin, or genital organs, problems with urination (frequent urges, pain, delay), general weakness, and feelings of malaise, blood in urine or semen. Causes can be infectious (bacteria) or non-infectious (circulatory disorders, stress).

Intestinal dyskinesia and biliary dyskinesia — these are disorders of the motor function of organs. Symptoms may manifest as abdominal pain, usually of a spasmodic nature, a feeling of bloating, constipation or diarrhea, nausea that sometimes accompanies meals. Various factors can contribute to the development of dyskinesia, from stress to poor nutrition and infections.

Adhesive disease — a condition in which connective tissue (adhesions) forms between organs, potentially causing pain in the abdominal area, and functional disturbances of the intestines (constipation, pain during defecation). In case of inflammation, an increase in temperature and other general symptoms may also occur. Causes can include surgical interventions, infections, or inflammatory processes.

Certain forms of dysmenorrhea — a pathological state characterized by painful menstruation. It manifests as severe cramps and pain in the lower abdomen, which may be accompanied by nausea or headaches, emotional changes, and fatigue. Causes may be either primary (active physiological response to hormones) or secondary (existing gynecological problems).

Pneumonia.

Prostatitis.

Benign prostatic hyperplasia.

GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease).

When to see a doctor

You should see a doctor if you notice:

• Persistent or severe pain in the abdomen or pelvis.
• Changes in urination or defecation.
• Symptoms that do not resolve over a prolonged period or worsen.

Diagnosis of functional disorders

For the correct diagnosis of functional disorders of internal organs and to exclude organic pathology, our doctors use a comprehensive approach that includes:

1. Clinical examination: detailed history taking, examination for visible symptoms, and study of the medical history.
2. Laboratory tests: complete blood count and urinalysis to assess health status and identify inflammatory processes, biochemical blood tests to determine liver and kidney functions and electrolyte levels.
3. Instrumental examinations: Ultrasound, which helps detect changes in the digestive organs, biliary tract, and urinary system; endoscopic methods for examining the intestine (colonoscopy, gastroscopy).
4. Specialized tests: depending on the symptoms, tests may be prescribed for glucose tolerance, infection studies, etc.

Treatment and recovery

Treatment of functional disorders depends on the specific pathology and may involve various methods. One of the promising and effective approaches is visceral therapy.

Visceral therapy is a method of manual therapy aimed at returning organs to their normal position and restoring function. It may be prescribed for conditions such as dyskinesia, adhesive disease, and disturbances of internal organ function.

The doctor offers the patient special exercises and manual techniques that promote normalization of blood circulation and reduction of tension in internal organs. Procedures may include gentle pressing and stretching of the tissues of the torso, which helps reduce discomfort in the abdominal area and promote normalization of organ function.

To alleviate symptoms and address the causes of disorders, medication therapy may also be prescribed:

• Antibiotics (if there is an infectious component).
• Antispasmodics to reduce pain and intestinal spasms.
• Medications to normalize digestion, such as enzymes or probiotics.
• Analgesics (NSAIDs): may be used to relieve pain during treatment.

Additionally, patients receive psychological support that takes into account the emotional aspect of the illness, including psychotherapy and relaxation techniques to improve the overall psychological state of the patient.
