Prevention and treatment of pseudotumorous pancreatitis

Psevdotumorozny pancreatitis - one of the types of pancreatic diseases.

Due to the availability of alcohol and fatty delicious food, the audience of those who are exposed to its dangerous influence is expanding.

This disease is more common in relatively young men - lovers of fatty foods and dense snacks that overload the body, as well as those who abuse alcohol.

The appearance of pancreatitis provokes an ill-considered diet, alcoholic beverages or the influence of other diseases.

Prevention will help reduce the likelihood of pathology, and timely treatment will help to recover or remission of the disease. The etiology of pancreatitis

Pseudotumor

This diagnosis implies the presence of inflammation in the pancreas. As a rule, the disease develops quite a long time.

Inflammatory processes may last 10 - 15 years before, and will form an acute manifest as a bright external symptoms.

Pseudotumorous pancreatitis blooms when the inflammation acquires a chronic form.

Pathology is caused by a large accumulation of enzymes in the body cavity. Painful sensations appear at the moment when the accumulated enzyme "cocktail" begins to digest the gland from the inside.

Psevdotumorozny pancreatitis causes an increase in its volume. For this form of pancreatitis are characteristic autoimmune lesions, lipomatosis and multiple cysts.

Pathological processes are localized in the head of the pancreas.

Under the influence of inflammation and other negative factors, the main duct of the gland begins to narrow, contributing to a worsening of the output of pancreatic juice from the organ.

In the running cases, the flow can be completely blocked. As a result of enzymes being unable to leave the gland accumulates, the body cavity is full, it start to happen autoimmune processes, which are accompanied by acute pain.

As already mentioned above, disease-provoking factors will be:

• frequent overeating;
• great content in the diet of fatty foods;
• alcohol abuse.

All this is especially dangerous in case of burdened heredity.

Symptoms of the disease

Symptomatic of the disease is similar to signs of pancreatic cancer. Specialists will try to differentiate the symptoms so as not to confuse the disease.

It is possible that during the diagnostic process you will have to pass a puncture several times for histological analysis.

pseudotumor pancreatitis is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• most prominent symptom is a sharp girdle pain in a patient that arises after taking large portions of food, spicy or fatty foods or because of alcohol use;
• nausea and subsequent vomiting, after which the patient becomes lighter;
• alternating problems with stool: then diarrhea, then constipation;
• degradation of digestion and assimilation of food, elements of which can be seen in feces;
• signs of jaundice;
• weight reduction.

During palpation, the doctor feels seals in the head of the pancreas and general changes in the volume and shape of the organ.

Deformation in the size of the gland promotes the appearance of mechanical jaundice. Increased pancreatic pressure squeezes the bile duct, not giving bile, formed in the liver, move further into the intestine.

As a result, it accumulates and, in turn, presses on the liver, getting through its ducts into the bloodstream.

Mechanical jaundice manifests itself in a change in the color of the eyes and skin. The urine of the patient becomes darker, and the feces, on the contrary, become discolored.

Severe form of mechanical jaundice is accompanied by itching all over the body. Her treatment usually goes in parallel with pancreatitis therapy.

Prophylaxis and treatment of pseudotumorous pancreatitis

Prevention of pseudotumorous pancreatitis is carried out both for the prevention of disease and during treatment, in order to increase the time of remission and to minimize the development of pathological processes.

Preventative measures consist in following the norms of proper nutrition. It is necessary to eliminate overeating and reduce the consumption of fatty foods.

In the process of treatment, a prescribed diet should be observed, which will be stricter than the usual rules of healthy eating.

When weighed down with heredity, it is best to periodically undergo preventive examinations, because pancreatitis may not manifest itself to critical changes, after which its treatment will become quite difficult.

The process of therapy at a certain stage implies suppression of the gland. This is necessary to reduce the production of enzymes, which also trigger pathological processes.

For this purpose, specialists often prescribe Aprotinin, Gordoks or Contrikal. Sometimes the treatment should be accompanied by periods of starvation, because the usual snacking also stimulates the secretion of the gland secretion.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs rarely promote analgesia. For this purpose, it is better to use neuroleptanalgesia.

The main treatment is due to surgical intervention. To finally exclude the possibility of cancer, during the operation, an analysis of pancreatic sites for the possibility of malignant neoplasms will be performed.

Only after receiving the results of the study, the surgeon will already continue the operation, focusing on the received data: he either removes the affected elements of the gland, or cuts out the cysts, restoring the patency of the duct.

With multiple cysts, it is not always possible to remove all pathological formations, then the doctor only extracts the largest ones.

The remaining cysts will eventually grow in size and may require surgical intervention again.

Chronic pseudotumorous pancreatitis is not always treated. It is in these cases that the prevention of the disease will be especially important.

A healthy lifestyle and adherence to the rules of proper nutrition increase the chances of preventing the development of pseudotumorous pancreatitis even with weighed heredity, and competent treatment and strict adherence to the doctor's instructions will make the therapy more effective.
