The pancreas is a gland with a length of 13 cm. It is located in the upper middle part of the stomach. The pancreas is closely related to the first part of the small intestine. It is made up of some tissues in the form of islands, which produce the hormone “insulin” that is released into the blood. The pancreas also has some enzymes that flow into the duodenum through the corresponding duct. Its enzymes complete the digestion of food in the small intestine.
Pancreatic dysfunction causes upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting especially after eating, and diarrhea. In the absence of insulin production, diabetes occurs. The pancreas is affected by microbes and the weakening of insulin function. In some cases, tumors also appear.
The pancreas becomes infected by microbes via the blood or by microbes found in the duodenum, which pass into the duodeno-pancreatic duct. Infection is favored when alcohol and large meals are taken, as well as from gallstones.
Acute forms of pancreatitis are severe. Chronic pancreatitis causes disorders in the stomach and food digestion, abdominal bloating, weight loss, diarrhea.
The disease lasts several years with crises of improvement and deterioration. She requires medication for many cases. It is removed by surgical intervention. Meals should contain large amounts of carbohydrates and little fat.
