What Is Duodenitis?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
6. Symptoms
Some people with duodenitis will not display any symptoms whatsoever. When symptoms do arise, however, they can be very uncomfortable. One of the most common symptoms of the condition is a pain in the abdomen area. The pain will often also be felt in the back, and patients will also sometimes experience cramping and/or a burning sensation.
Indigestion is another common symptom, while many patients will also feel nauseous. Nausea will result in vomiting in many cases. Sometimes the patient’s vomit will resemble coffee grounds and their stools can be very dark. Both of these are a symptom of internal bleeding and should be treated as a medical emergency.
