The first signs of pancreatic disease in women: the symptoms and characteristics of treatment

Ancient anatomists believed that the organ under the stomach bag is a soft muscle tissue. Only after a long time it became known how underestimated the importance of this breast cancer.

General information

The digestive tract is one of the most important functional systems in the human body, which is responsible for well-being, metabolic processes, production of a number of hormones, and also for appearance. People who have problems on the part of the digestive system have certain external( identifying) signs, which allow one to suspect that something is wrong in the physiological mechanism of the digestive tract.

So, the suspicion of the digestive internal organs is indicated by the suspicious yellowness of the skin, the hypersensitivity of the third tooth in the upper or lower row, as well as the sudden appearance of inconspicuous wrinkles between the eyebrows or around the eyes. Of course, it will be wrong to independently identify for yourself the diagnosis, but still the method of self-diagnosis is logical to take note.

It is known that pancreatitis, which is an inflammation of the pancreatic tissue, in males is directly caused by alcohol abuse. In women, the appearance of this disease provokes cholelithiasis. Both are true, but there are plenty of levers to run a dangerous disease. Do not underestimate this important, though small, body.

The weight of the pancreas is extremely small - only 70 g, while the function of this organ has a high activity. The pancreas is prone to instantaneous reaction to the emotional and nutritional loads that the body is experiencing. Numerous adverse factors: frequent and acute stresses, influenza virus, poisoning, aggressive medicines and poor-quality food, immediately affect its condition. And this is only an incomplete list of reasons contributing to the launch of the disease in acute form and its further transition to a chronic stage. What are the signs of pancreatic disease? Symptoms in women, treatment and prevention will be discussed further.

How to recognize pancreatitis in women?

What are the signs of pancreatic disease in women? Probably, it is hardly possible to compare the general state of health with pancreatitis - the most painful and serious gastrointestinal disease, especially in the acute phase. Pain has a feature - its nature is shrouded.

How do you know if you have a sick pancreas? The first symptoms manifest themselves brightly, start with anxiety in the left hypochondrium. Next, the pain threshold spreads over the upper half of the abdomen and passes to the back region, mainly on the left. The indicator of the presence of the disease is also repeated vomiting, exhausting the patient. Skin covers are marked with pale and earthy tinge. Pulse, breathing quickened.

Symptoms of pancreatitis in women

What are the signs of the disease? When is it worth it to sound an alarm? The first symptoms of pancreatic disease:

• deterioration in well-being;
• sharp, shingles in the upper abdomen, irradiating in the back and both hypochondria;
• nausea;
• frequent vomiting;
• an unpleasant aftertaste in the mouth;
• increase in body temperature;
• pallor and jaundice of the skin;
• oily shine of feces, indigestion, diarrhea;
• progression of autonomic symptoms - weakness, dizziness, agitation, sweating.

In research activities in the blood and urine, pancreatic enzymes and leukocytosis are inflated. The diagnosis is confirmed by the ultrasound method.

The association of a stress factor in the onset of pancreatitis

The female half of humanity is characterized by increased sensitivity and reactivity, due to which it is inclined to perceive the most emotionally the surrounding reality, and this can not but affect the health of the fairer sex. There are no clear distinctions for those who have pancreatitis outbreaks more likely, but, based on the practice, it is women who are in the primary risk zone.

The main enemies of the pancreas

What causes often serve as an obstacle to the normal functioning of the pancreas in women?

• Alcohol. In more than half the cases, acute and chronic inflammation of the gland tissues is directly related to the abuse of alcoholic beverages. Ethanol has a toxic effect on the cells of the gland and leads to disruption in the production and outflow of pancreatic juice. The very first attack is almost always recorded after using unreasonable doses of alcohol. Gallstones and cholecystitis. If a woman has a history of having a history of complications with the gallbladder or liver: the presence of stones, enlarged liver, sand in the bile duct, gastritis, gastroduodenitis, enteritis, peptic ulcer, the pancreas becomes vulnerable. This is due to the fact that the ducts of the pancreas and the gall bladder have a common outlet in the duodenum. If in this ductal region there is a stone, then inevitably an inflammation or clogging of the duct with a stone. Bile in this case simply begins to destroy the glandular tissue itself. Acute pancreatitis may well develop due to the transfer of the inflammatory process from neighboring organs.
• Oily and fried foods. Periodic infatuation with completely useless food, in particular, overcooked, fatty, spicy, cold food leads to excessive pancreatic load, which is an increased risk factor for pancreatitis. In addition, overeating exacerbates not only the condition of the pancreas, but it interferes with the stable and coordinated work of all body systems.
• Poisoning. Acute inflammation of the pancreatic tissues always develops with poisoning of any kind. Low-quality food, the use of strong drugs, viruses - all this triggers mechanisms of failure in the functioning of the body, giving way to serious illness.
• Operating Injury. Unfortunately, this is possible when the cause of pancreatitis is an operating error.
• Autoimmune disease. With this disease, healthy cells are recognized by the body as foreign, and their immunity destroys them. Violations of this nature lie in hereditary causes, which require a special approach.

How to help with an attack of

If the first signs of pancreatic disease in women or men are seen, it is urgent to see a doctor. Do not Mess with Pancreatitis! Hospitalization in acute pancreatitis is strictly required. Before the arrival of an emergency team, to ease the condition of the patient, follow the prescribed recommendations:

• attach a cold object or ice to the solar plexus area;
• do not disturb bed rest;
• refrain from eating;
• allowed the use of pure still water in small sips in small quantities;
• it is forbidden to drink aspirin, analgin, ibuprofen( you can take spasmolytic);
• hot heaters and heat are strictly contraindicated.

Treatment of pancreatitis in the acute stage of the disease

It is not immediately possible to quit the acute process and alleviate the symptoms of the disease with acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is treated within the walls of the hospital and requires serious medicinal prescriptions.

Therapy includes:

• mandatory bed rest,
• cold on the epigastric region,
• creating functional rest for the gland( absolute famine),
• taking medications.

Effective collection of herbs in chronic pancreatitis

Phytotherapy is used in the healing of many diseases for a very long time and, it is worth noting, effectively. Herbs act gently, their therapeutic effect is long and as part of complex therapy can bring good results. All herbal preparations are selected individually.

Benefit from pancreas effect:

• peppermint,
• fruits of coriander,
• of anemia flowers,
• of anise ordinary fruits,
• of dandelion roots of grassland,
• of mountaineer heron,
• of St. John's wort,
• of chamomile,
• of medicinal sage.

Diet is an important stage in the treatment of pancreatitis

Now you know what are the symptoms of pancreatitis in women. Treatment and diet are two concepts, without which it is impossible to cope with pancreatitis.

Diet is one of the main conditions for recovery. The iron should not be under pressure, and the diet should be gentle. In order not to feel signs of pancreatic disease in women, it is necessary to listen to the following rules:

• eat often, at least 5 times a day;
• reduce portions, since impressive volumes of dishes too strain the pancreas;
• fried foods, smoked products, fatty foods are excluded, and the processes of creating dishes are defined as cooking for steaming, quenching or boiling;
• with pancreatitis is undesirable hobby for foods rich in plant fiber( cabbage, persimmons, celery, tomatoes, bell peppers), as their frequent use can provoke an attack;
• in the diet unacceptable sour berries and fruits, and apples are better to eat baked or in the garbled form;
• the amount of carbohydrate food should be reduced, and instead of this increase the consumption of protein products: lean meat, lean fish, turkey. Egg can be one per day and only soft. Fermented milk products, cottage cheese are mandatory, but with intolerance the body can replace them with milk;
• pancreas harms to varying degrees both hot and cold food, so it is recommended to eat meals in a warm form;
• limit the use of salt and canning products.

To no longer worry about the signs of pancreatic disease in women, it is necessary to completely eliminate:

• alcohol,
• cocoa, coffee, strong black tea,
• carbonated drinks.

A strict diet is important to observe for a long time: as a rule, it is not less than 9-12 months. With stabilization of the patient's condition, stable remission and good food tolerance, the diet can be somewhat expanded, but only in particular following the most stringent recommendations: a ban on alcohol and fatty foods.

Pancreatic Disease Prevention

It is very easy to damage the pancreas, and many mistakenly believe that once having had pancreatitis, one can not remember it. Feeling better, recent patients forget about the seizure and godlessly exploit the newly recovered body.

Important! Do not eat monotonously: for each kind of product or culinary dish, the stomach reflexively isolates its specific enzyme.

Leave the habit of poorly chewing food, since the digestion of carbohydrate food begins already in the mouth. The fact is that the enzyme contained in human saliva and intended by nature to break down carbohydrates, begins to work only if a person makes at least 20 chewing acts or movements. It is also important how you swallow food. There is such a thing as a failure of the swallowing wave. Violation of this occurs when we smoke, lie, eat and drink before the TV screen. The same thing happens if we eagerly swallow food, eat dry foods, or drink volley.

A refreshed round stomach presses on a delicate organ, interfering with the normal functioning of the pancreas.

It is worthwhile to treat the disease with special attention and to prevent the development of chronic pancreatitis, since if there is no acute acute disease, there is a risk of getting insulin deficiency and, as a consequence, the development of secondary diabetes. It is important to be prudent during the off-season, when a tendency to exacerbation of chronic sickness is revealed. In general, a close attitude to yourself after the illness will ensure a persistent and prolonged remission.
