Alla Nerullina, a gastroenterologist at the clinic of the Russian Railways-Medicine on Clockwork Central Clinical Hospital, said that diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) can affect a person’s appearance.
Yellowish skin and spider veins are signs of liver pathologies. Rashes on the face may indicate diseases of a number of organs – pancreatic, gallbladder and liver disease. In addition, pancreatitis – inflammation of the pancreas – can be recognized by itching.
A white coating on the tongue and bad breath can indicate peptic ulcer and indigestion.
Gastrointestinal diseases are also manifested in the form of fever: a temperature of 37 ° C – 37.5 ° C can rise to 39 ° C in hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and biliary tract diseases. In the latter case, twitching of the skeletal and facial muscles will be observed,” Nerullina noted.
In addition, the side effects noted by the doctor can lead to drugs prescribed for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, they cause very painful sores in the oral cavity when hot, spicy and sour foods are eaten.
