The pancreas is an indispensable gland in the human body, its texture is soft, gray-red, located in the deepest part of the left upper quadrant.
Although compared with the intestines, stomach and other organs, the pancreas is not very concerned, it is the largest endocrine organ in the human body, if the pancreas has problems, it is bound to affect the health of the body.
It is precisely so, remind everyone to pay more attention, if there are the following 4 manifestations of the recent inexplicable, it is likely that the pancreas has been diseased.
1. Epigastric pain
Because the pancreas is located in the left upper quadrant, if there is a health problem, there will inevitably be abnormalities in the upper abdomen, such as inexplicable pain.
However, in the early stage of the disease, the pain is relatively mild, and it is paroxysmal, so many people do not pay attention to it, but with the passage of time, the pain will become more and more obvious, which also means that the disease has entered a serious stage.
Therefore, I would like to remind you that once you have recently suddenly had symptoms of left upper quadrant pain, whether it is obvious or not, you must go to the hospital for examination at the first time, so as to prevent the disease from getting worse and worse.
2. Yellowish complexion
Yellowing is clinically known as jaundice, and the occurrence of this problem is not only related to the damage to the gallbladder.
Pancreatic disease may also induce this symptom, especially after the pancreatic cancer, it is easy to invade or squeeze the lower end of the common bile duct, thereby increasing the level of bilirubin in the body.
As a result, the most typical manifestation of the patient's body is the yellowing of the face color, in addition, in the case of more and more serious disease, the color of the excrement will also undergo a significant yellowing change.
3. Digestive tract abnormalities
When it comes to indigestion, bloating and other symptoms, many people will preconceived that it is a manifestation of poor gastrointestinal function, but as everyone knows, pancreatic lesions can also cause this problem.
Because the pancreas has an endocrine function, when it is healthy, it can produce enough pancreatic juice, and if it is a pancreatic lesion, the pancreatic juice cannot enter the duodenum smoothly;
Coupled with the poor exocrine function of the pancreas, under the combined influence of these two factors, the rate at which food is digested is slowed down, so eventually abnormal symptoms of the digestive tract will appear.
4. Fever
Clinical investigation data show that whether it is edematous pancreatitis or other pancreatic diseases, the patient will also have inexplicable fever symptoms on the body.
Moreover, if the symptoms of high fever caused by pancreatic disease are not improved by using the most conventional methods of fever reduction.
This is because after the appearance of inflammation, the heat of absorption caused by the absorption of inflammatory exudates by the human body, especially if the temperature exceeds 38 ° C, is already in the range of high fever, and it is necessary to seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and if necessary, it is necessary to do anti-infection therapy.
Of course, when pancreatic disease occurs, in addition to the above typical symptoms, some patients are also accompanied by diarrhea, which is an abnormal defecation symptom.
Especially after eating high-fat foods, the manifestations of diarrhea are more obvious, and if it is severe, it even exceeds a dozen times a day.
All in all, if the body has inexplicably appeared in the recent period of time, such as fever, indigestion, yellowing of the face, epigastric pain and other manifestations mentioned above, it is necessary to consider whether it is pancreatic lesions, at this time we must go to the hospital as soon as possible to do B ultrasound observation of the pancreas.
Of course, in order to prevent the pancreas from being harmed, we must develop good eating habits, eat more foods rich in dietary fiber, and insist on exercise to enhance resistance.
