The pancreas is an important organ that is involved in the digestion and regulation of the human endocrine system. Violation of her work, including due to inflammation, is called pancreatitis. This is a serious violation, which entails extremely serious consequences. Do you have an aversion to food, do you feel nauseous and heavy in your stomach? An urgent need for a doctor, and to think about the fact that the psychosomatics of the pancreas also takes place.
What is psychosomatics?
Surely, each of us at least once in my life heard the mysterious word "psychosomatics." It is not for nothing that people say: "All diseases are from nerves." There is a deal of truth in it.
From a psychological and medical point of view, psychosomatics is the interconnection of our emotional state (anger, fear, a ban on the manifestation of feelings) and the physical well-being of a person (disease).
Psychosomatic diseases are diseases of our body that are caused by prolonged emotional experience, stress.
Today, almost every doctor pays attention to the psychological factor of the disease. In the case of ineffective drugs, the causes are sought at a psychological level. There are a number of symptoms of a psychosomatic disease, that is, the development of the disease due to negative emotions:
- discomfort in the chest, throat, or stomach;
- a feeling of "squeezing" in the heart, a violation of its rhythm and even its short-term fading;
- heaviness in the stomach, spasm and a constant feeling of hunger;
- possible constipation and relief;
- exacerbations of the disease on the skin;
- autoimmune process: rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, etc .;
- increased anxiety, panic attack;
- musculoskeletal system: early osteochondrosis, curvature of the spine, muscle cramps in the back, numbness of the limbs.
Factors affecting the development of psychosomatic diseases :
- Inability to live (show) your emotions. Such a suppression of internal emotions leads to the fact that a person forbids himself to manifest them. He does not have an internal resolution to the conflict. If a person has emotions, but he does not allow or cannot “splash” them out, this does not mean that he does not have them. They go to a deep level, thereby giving a start to the development of a psychosomatic disease.
- Psychological trauma of childhood.
- Severe stress.
During the shocks, special biologically active substances are produced in the human body that affect all organs in the body.
Pancreas: psychosomatics, causes
According to the state of human health, it is possible to judge the ongoing psychological internal problems. The psychosomatics of pancreatic diseases works like an x-ray. Common causes of a psychological illness:
- Depreciation and low self-esteem are some of the causes of pancreatic pain. If you feel like you have no internal strength left, you have the feeling that you were robbed, you cannot resist external attacks, both verbal and physical, then the cause of pancreatitis can be hidden here.
- Thirst for control. You are constantly planning your life, in your head you are trying to calculate a few steps forward. Do you control every step of your near and dear ones? Get pancreatic pain and overexertion.
- The psychosomatics of the pancreas suggests that it can hurt due to the accumulated over the years of shame, anger and guilt. Try to watch yourself from the side. How do you talk? Sometimes our anger is expressed literally in every phrase, seeps into every word. As for shame, you may be subconsciously holding it back from past events. As for guilt, perhaps your success was not appreciated by those close to you. They felt like insignificant people in your life, superfluous. Along with this, you may have developed a sense of guilt.
- According to psychosomatics, the pancreas can get sick as a result of a mother’s injury during pregnancy or if she was exposed to violence. One of the common birth causes is alcoholism.
The influence of family problems on the psychosomatics of the pancreas
If you have experienced a lot of stress that is associated with your family or personal marital relationships, then it is likely the development of pancreatitis. Stress can be chronic. Perhaps there was a bad relationship between your parents and marital betrayal.
The child feels everything, so the atmosphere of distrust, abandonment, danger does not leave him in adulthood.
Mission to Save the World Impossible
The own “iron” face has the psychosomatics of pancreatic diseases. Psychology claims that you can make a psychological portrait of people prone to such a disease. Usually these are active people, strong in spirit, they are smart and purposeful. Constant work, plans and methods of their implementation are raging in their head. In addition, such people should control everything around and take care of everyone.
However, sadness is often hidden behind increased external activity, because because of the desire to appear strong, they lack love and affection.
One of the functions of the pancreas is the completion of the digestion of food, its synthesis into proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Often, pancreatitis occurs in people who do not finish what they started to the end.
Of particular importance is psychosomatics. The pancreas gives a signal that you need to die your ardor. It is impossible to make everyone happy. Naturally, you should not turn into an egoist, but the desire to control everyone and everything needs to be reduced a little.
Symptoms
If the pancreas hurts, psychosomatics play an important role here along with biological factors. In this case, the following occurs:
- metabolic disease;
- hormonal disruptions;
- wrong diet.
However, it is worth paying attention to the psychological aspect of the problem. Every second of us literally “jams”.
Due to the current stressful phenomenon, a person cannot realize that he is overeating, especially sweet and fatty.
Among the pronounced symptoms, the following are distinguished:
- abdominal pain (in the left hypochondrium);
- pain in the left side of the back (in the scapula);
- nausea;
- vomiting
- decreased appetite;
- weight loss.
The pain can be constant, and can be manifested by seizures. After overeating spicy, fried and fatty foods, pain can intensify.
Treatment
With inflammation of the pancreas, in no case can everything be attributed only to psychosomatics. Pancreatic diseases must be treated. First of all, you need to see a general practitioner.
After this, you need to go through a series of diagnostic examinations and pass the necessary tests. If inflammation of the pancreas and psychosomatics of the disease are put on the back burner, we are talking about hospitalization of the patient.
In order for the chronic form of pancreatitis of a psychosomatic nature not to appear, it is necessary:
- seek help from a psychologist who specializes in psychosomatic diseases;
- undergo acupuncture and speleotherapy - methods that can be very effective;
- an appeal to a psychotherapist (in addition to psychological methods of solving the problem, he will prescribe a number of medications, among them antidepressants).
How to avoid relapse?
The appearance of relapse is possible if a person cannot recognize the psychosomatic nature of the disease. Reluctance to delve into yourself and work on your condition can lead to the resumption of pancreatic pain.
Conducted psychological work on yourself is important not to throw halfway. The therapist can prescribe drugs that will improve mood and will have a calming effect on the nervous system.
Medicines only eliminate the symptom, and you can only remove the root of the problem. Do not be afraid to enter into internal conflict. From a dialogue with your inner “I” you will only feel better.
Psychosomatics of pancreatic cancer
Cancer is a sign that a person is at the epicenter of a conflict. What kind of conflicts can cause pancreatic cancer?
- The desire to please everyone. No, this is not about elementary education. The desire to please everyone and everything, to receive praise and love from strangers - this is an impossible task that can "reward" pancreatitis with a chronic form, causing cancer.
- The struggle for inheritance is not uncommon. Typically, the pancreas works for wear during disputes over inheritance. At the conclusion of these disputes, the development of the disease begins. It is necessary to be moderate and not to confuse the achievement of success and the real struggle for the material.
Psychosomatics as a science does not push aside traditional treatment, especially oncological cases.
Preventative measures
Of particular importance in medicine is psychosomatics. The pancreas often hurts due to empty emotions, senseless control and concern for others.
If a person suffers from pancreatitis, it is necessary to realize that solving the problems of strangers (especially if they do not ask about it) is not worth it. Moreover, in this way you sign not in your own egoism, but in the provision of a bear service.
If there is a lack of love and attention from loved ones, ask yourself: “Am I giving love to my relatives enough?”, “How do I express this love?”, “What am I doing / not doing?”
The psychosomatics of the pancreas is associated primarily with its metaphysical function. Moreover, the body is located in the area that is responsible for the emotional sphere of a person (for managing emotions and desires).
Love and acceptance are high feelings that can dissolve any cause of the psychological factors of the disease. It is scientifically proven. It remains only to teach to accept life with all its "gifts" and look at everything through the prism of a positive attitude! Be loving and healthy!
