Dr. Shen Yonghua
The main symptoms of enteritis include:
1. Abdominal pain: When enteritis occurs, patients first experience abdominal pain, which may be intermittent and cramp-like, accompanied by bowel sounds. The pain is usually located around the navel or throughout the abdomen.
2. Diarrhea: Mild enteritis may present as increased frequency of bowel movements and watery stools; severe enteritis may involve blood in the stool, with a significant amount of blood present.
3. Nausea and vomiting: Gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by enteritis may lead to symptoms of nausea and vomiting.
4. Systemic symptoms: Symptoms such as weakness, dizziness, and fever may also accompany enteritis.
