Pancreatitis - what is it?
This is an inflammatory process in the pancreas. Due to inflammation, the enzymes that are responsible for the digestion of food begin to work not in the duodenum, but directly in the pancreas. The pancreas begins to digest itself, at this moment its enzymes enter the bloodstream and are carried throughout the body, causing its poisoning.
Causes of occurrence
In most cases, pancreatitis occurs in people who abuse alcohol. According to statistics, 50% of the adult population suffering from this disease have problems with strong drinks. From here arises pancreatic necrosis.
Pancreatitis can occur for other reasons:
Passion for junk food, in particular fast food.
The constant presence in the diet of fatty, spicy, fried foods.
With systematic overeating, the risk of a disease is almost doubled.
Smoking.
Vascular disease.
Peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, as well as gastritis and tumors.
Hereditary predisposition.
Types of disease
Pancreatitis is chronic and acute. With the latter, the symptoms are very similar to poisoning. A person has acute pain in the left or right hypochondrium, turning into herpes zoster. Painkillers do not help. Vomiting occurs, sometimes empty. The patient does not receive relief after her. The stool becomes liquid, poorly washed off, particles of undigested food are visible in it. The stool is accompanied by an unpleasant odor and foams.
With such signs, it is urgent to call a doctor. Without proper medical care, the patient may experience shock.
Chronic pancreatitis
For this type of disease, the following forms of manifestation are characteristic:
Asymptomatic. May not show up for years.
Painful. The pain occurs after a meal.
Pseudotumor. Yellow skin is the main symptom.
Dyspeptic. The most pronounced. There are problems with stools, flatulence, often dyspeptic pancreatitis is accompanied by a feeling of a lump in the throat, nausea and vomiting.
There are two types of the course of the disease in chronic form. The first type is the initial one. During this period, pain can occur in the upper abdomen and left hypochondrium, as well as girdle pain. It occurs 20-40 minutes after eating.
Chronic pancreatitis is accompanied by upset stool, belching, vomiting, constant rumbling in the abdomen. A person begins to rapidly lose weight.
The second type is the period of exacerbation. Regular pain constantly accompanies a person, after eating, nausea occurs, and sometimes - vomiting. The exacerbation period is characterized by frequent constipation or, conversely, diarrhea.
A chronic form of the disease can lead to diabetes and pancreatic cancer. Diet with exacerbation of pancreatitis is vital.
How to treat acute form?
In acute form of pancreatitis, emergency medical care will be required. The patient is placed in a hospital, and the doctor controls the entire treatment.
