What is brunner gland hiperplazisi?

Brunner gland hyperplasia is a rare condition that affects the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). The Brunner glands are responsible for secreting mucus, which helps protect the duodenum from the acidic chyme that comes from the stomach. The hyperplasia (overgrowth) of these glands can cause abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and occasionally, bleeding. The exact cause of Brunner gland hyperplasia is unknown, but it's thought to be related to chronic irritation or inflammation of the duodenum. Treatment options may include medications to reduce acid production in the stomach, endoscopic or surgical removal of the affected tissue, or observation in cases with mild symptoms.
