Treatment of pancreatic lipomatosis

The medical practice suggests that lipomatosis has the property to flow almost asymptomatically.

A person lives for a long period of time and does not suspect that he has problems with the pancreas.

The peculiarity of lipomatosis is that the pathology begins to develop as a result of qualitative changes in the gland itself.

When its cells begin to die, their place is occupied by connective tissues or adipes.

As a matter of fact in such form the protective mechanism of an organism is shown. But fat cells are not able to perform those functions for which the pancreas is intended.

The gradual accumulation of fatty deposits in the tissues of the pancreas proceeds almost imperceptibly.

However, under certain conditions there is an exacerbation, and then a person needs treatment.

The following causes lead to the development of lipomatosis:

• disease by chronic hepatitis or pancreatitis;
• diabetes;
• alcohol abuse;
• disproportionate use of medicines.

These risk factors only contribute to the onset of the disease. Practice shows that lipomatosis can develop in people who lead a healthy lifestyle.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

In the process of how the lipomatosis slowly and gradually develops, at exactly the same pace the healthy part of the pancreas shrinks.

The causes of the process may be different, but the substitution mechanism does not depend on it and does not change.

In case of a lesion of a gland of the first degree, when only 30% of the body volume is replaced with fat, no painful sensations appear in man.

With further growth of adipose tissue, the patient's condition worsens.

He has the following symptoms:

• nausea;
• severity and abdominal pain;
• more frequent stool and steatorrhea.

Sensations of congestion in the intestine and flatulence are also present.

Fatty tissue of the pancreas can grow in different forms. Diffuse lipomatosis develops in the subcutaneous tissue of the gland and is characterized by blurred outlines of adipose tissue.

The nodular form of lipomatosis looks like a lipoma. Multiple nodes have a small volume and are distributed over a large area in a symmetrical order.

Very often pathology is diagnosed accidentally with ultrasound of the liver or stomach. The presence of lime does not bother a person. Exacerbation may occur as a result of a sharp weakening of immunity.

At the second degree of the disease, when up to 60% of the gland is affected, appropriate treatment is prescribed.

Functions of the pancreas in the body are involved not only in participating in the digestive process. Lipomatosis, with all its external harmlessness, has a negative effect on carbohydrate metabolism.

This is due to the fact that the pancreas produces hormones that regulate the metabolism in the body.

If this mechanism is broken, the blood sugar level begins to rise, which eventually leads to diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus is a serious illness requiring longer and more complex treatment. To avoid such consequences, it is necessary to respond in a timely manner, even to weak symptoms of lipomatosis.

Treatment of lipomatosis

Within the framework of medical terminology lipomatosis is called fatty dystrophy of the pancreas. Any dystrophy must be treated promptly and correctly.

Currently, lipomatosis treatment is performed by two methods - therapeutic and surgical. Typically, a particular method is chosen depending on the neglect of the disease.

At the third degree of disease more than 60% of the cells of the gland are already replaced by fat cells. To stop the progressing pathology, one must resort to surgical intervention.

In early stages of development, lipomatosis is treated with therapeutic and even folk remedies.

2. in the presence of excess weight to bring it into the conventional framework;
3. abandon tobacco and alcohol. This decision is often taken with difficulty, after long hesitation and doubt;
