Symptoms that make it clear that it is time to treat the pancreas

Inflammatory processes in the pancreas promise big problems. Ways of self-diagnosis that every person should know better.

If you stand up, figure out where your stomach is roughly and try to find your pancreas a little lower, you're going to miss it big time. Whatever pain you have below your stomach, it's definitely not her. The pancreas is below the stomach when you are lying down. When you are standing, she is on the same level with him. Now about the pain.

Pain that has a girdling character, without exact localization, in the left and right hypochondrium with a transition to the lower back - these are signs of inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Sometimes it seems to a person that the whole stomach and kidneys hurt. But that's not all.

Complications of pancreatitis add symptoms. Consider fatty pancreatitis (a complication in which enzymes produced by the gland begin to eat away at the gland itself). It may seem to a person that he has a heart attack. There is a sharp pain in the left hypochondrium, which radiates to the left forearm. Medicines "from the heart" do not help. It's a little easier to get up if you take the "embryo pose" and press your knees to your chest. In addition, the onset does not bring relief from vomiting.

The fact is that enzymes get into the blood, develop kidney failure and increase the general intoxication of the body. Next, damage to the central nervous system begins, which leads to mental disorders.

Come on, let's not continue, and if the above-described pains occur, we will immediately contact a doctor. Pain can pass as suddenly as it began. Remission may occur even for several years. But if the pancreas decided to show its temper, it will be right to keep it under surveillance.
