Description:

The pancreas is an organ found behind the stomach. It is the source of the hormones glucagon and insulin. In addition, it generates the enzymes required for food digestion. Enzymes are typically inactive until they enter the small intestine.These enzymes have the ability to break down pancreatic tissue if they become activated inside the organ. As a result, the organ and its blood arteries are damaged, swollen, and hemorrhaging. We refer to this condition as acute pancreatitis. Men are more likely to get acute pancreatitis than women. You have a higher chance of developing this condition if you have certain conditions, procedures, or behaviors.

Cause:

Normally, until fats and proteins enter the small intestine, the pancreatic digestive enzymes are not activated to break them down. Pancreatitis results from inflammation and localised damage to the pancreas caused by the activation of these digesting enzymes while the pancreas is still in the organ. Among the reasons for pancreatitis are: • Drinking alcohol • Gallstones • Elevated triglycerides and calcium levels in the blood • Surgery or damage to the abdomen • Some drugs • Exposure to specific substances • Consuming tobacco • History of pancreatitis in the family • Fibrosis cystic • Pancreas cancer • Gallstones and alcohol use are responsible for more than 80% of pancreatitis cases.

Symptom:

The following are typical signs of acute pancreatitis: Sudden intense upper abdominal pain that frequently radiates to your back and becomes better by leaning forward. It frequently gets worse after eating and is accompanied by fever perspiration, rapid heartbeat, nausea vomiting, and tenderness when touched in the abdomen. If alcohol is the cause of your pancreatitis, symptoms may appear one to three days following a drinking spree or cessation of alcohol consumption. Chronic pancreatitis: Prolonged abdominal discomfort in the center is the most typical sign of chronic pancreatitis. You may experience recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis, in which case your pain may worsen if you have chronic pancreatitis. Eating drinking and using alcohol may exacerbate your pain. Additionally, you can get jaundice. Because you don't have enough digestive fluids when you have chronic pancreatitis, it might be difficult for you to digest meals, especially fats. Deficits in vitamins and minerals may result from this, along with other symptoms like diarrhea loss of weight, feces that are loose oily, and smell bad. Diabetes may result from your pancreas producing insufficient amounts of insulin under extreme situations. One of the risk factors for pancreatic cancer is chronic pancreatitis.
