Pancreatic diseases are easily "confused"
On the Internet, many netizens discuss why pancreatitis is so dangerous. In this regard, Professor Wu Heshui, director of the Department of Pancreatic Surgery of Wuhan Union Medical College Hospital, introduced that acute pancreatitis is a gastrointestinal emergency, and if it is severe acute pancreatitis, the mortality rate is as high as 30%-50%.
Professor Wu Heshui calls the pancreas a "hermit." "It is shaped like a 'silkworm baby', deep in the upper abdomen of the human body to the left, the main part is 'hidden' directly behind the stomach, and the tail will extend to the spleen, above which is the liver. Such a 'small head' is the second largest digestive organ in our human body and undertakes an extremely important task. Professor Wu Heshui said that the pancreas secretes about 750 to 1500 ml of pancreatic juice every day, and the fats, proteins and sugars we eat are well digested and absorbed because of the pancreatic juice it secretes.
Not only that, only when the pancreas is healthy, the insulin and glucagon secreted by the islets can allow the body to maintain normal blood sugar levels. It can be said that once the pancreas "strikes", it may have terrible consequences.
Professor Wu Heshui reminded that it is precisely because the pancreas is hidden, when pancreatic lesions appear, their symptoms are easily confused with some other abdominal diseases, such as bloating, nausea, vomiting, etc., and it is easy to misdiagnose them as digestive tract diseases such as cholecystitis, acute cysticeritis, gastroenteritis and so on. Pancreatic diseases are dangerous, especially severe acute pancreatitis, which has many complications and high mortality, and can even die within a few hours of illness, with a mortality rate of up to 30-50%.
Don't overeat to burden the pancreas
From the perspective of outpatient treatment, Professor Wu Heshui found that the incidence of pancreatitis in Wuhan people is relatively high, and the analysis is mainly caused by eating habits, especially the incidence of heavy taste, high fat, good supper and alcoholics is relatively higher.
Among pancreatitis, the highest incidence is in biliary pancreatitis, such as gallbladder stones or common bile duct stones. Professor Wu Heshui explained that once gallbladder stones or intrahepatic and extrahepatic gallstones fall into the lower end of the common bile duct, blocking the common "channel" with the pancreas, resulting in bile having no "way out", can only regurgitate into the pancreatic duct to activate the pancreatic enzyme and return to the pancreas, starting to "self-digestion", which can cause severe acute pancreatic inflammation.
In addition, acute pancreatitis induced by excessive drinking and overeating is also becoming more and more common, and this part of the patients have increased significantly during the Spring Festival this year, and young people account for the majority. Professor Wu Heshui said that under normal circumstances, overeating will make the pancreatic juice secretion excessive, activate the digestive enzymes in the pancreatic juice, and then accumulate in the small pancreatic duct is difficult to excrete, so that the pancreatic duct pressure increases, causing the pancreatic duct to rupture and induce acute pancreatitis.
In patients with acute pancreatitis, hyperlipidemia is also an important cause. Professor Wu Heshui pointed out that the hospital treats many pregnant women with pancreatitis during pregnancy every year, and the culprit is hyperlipidemia caused by large supplements. The onset of pancreatitis during pregnancy is dangerous, which can cause multiple organ failure, miscarriage, and premature birth in pregnant women, causing severe hypoxia or death of the fetus, and even endangering the life of the mother and baby.
Professor Wu Heshui suggested that the public must conduct regular physical examinations to find and treat diseases such as cholelithiasis and intestinal roundworms in a timely manner. Patients with hyperlipidemia should regulate cholesterol and triglycerides under the guidance of a doctor. Eat regularly three meals a day, avoid overeating, and avoid eating a large amount of fatty foods at once. Alcohol itself can directly damage the pancreas, but also indirectly stimulate the secretion of pancreatic juice, induce pancreatitis, so do not drink too much. In addition, be sure to control your weight, under the premise of physical tolerance, choose a suitable exercise style for yourself, and maintain good exercise habits.
