According to the doctor, there has been a stable trend in morbidity over the past few years. Visits to doctors can be divided into two categories: functional disorders, which account for about 75%, and organic pathologies affecting the stomach, liver, and intestines, making up approximately 25% of cases.
Functional diseases, as noted by Jumabaev, are not related to organ pathologies and are often caused by lifestyle and diet. Organic diseases can be classified into three groups: the first concerns the stomach and duodenum, where we talk about acid-dependent diseases with increased acidity. The second group concerns liver and biliary tract diseases, while the third includes various intestinal diseases.
The gastroenterologist emphasized that among acid-dependent diseases, ulcers and gastritis are common, as well as functional dyspepsia. Despite the existence of effective treatment methods worldwide, stomach cancer has become the leading oncological disease in Kyrgyzstan for both men and women. As for the liver, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is becoming increasingly prevalent: according to statistics, one in three people in the world suffers from this condition.
Jumabaev noted that in Kyrgyzstan, considering the lifestyle and level of physical activity, the number of such patients is growing. Doctors warn that in the next ten years, this could lead to serious complications, including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
In recent years, there has been an increase in cases of inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. "The number of such cases is rising, and our treatment options remain limited, which poses a serious problem," concluded Jumabaev.
