Pancreatitis. Treatment and prevention.

One of the most serious pathologiesgastrointestinal tract is pancreatitis - an inflammatory-destructive change in the pancreas. To claim that this pathology affects only one specific group of the population is incorrect, but there are prerequisites for the development of this pancreatic disease. First of all, it is the use of alcohol, fatty, fried and smoked food, as well as long breaks between meals.

Sometimes the pathology of the pancreas developsagainst a background of some primary disease. This can be a pathology of the liver or intestines (eg, duodenal ulcer or colitis). In such situations, the diagnosis is "pancreatitis," the treatment of which will depend entirely on tactics when dealing with the underlying disease.

Treatment of pancreatitis, especially chronic itform, is to eliminate the pain syndrome (which is achieved by the use of appropriate groups of medications such as "no-shpa") and a decrease in secretory activity of the gland (for this purpose, the almagel and its analogues are most often prescribed). When there is a lack of activity of iron-synthesized enzymes, appropriate enzyme preparations are prescribed, which relieve the load from the affected organ (such drugs include festal, pancreatin and others). However, with regard to the full course of treatment, it is prescribed after appropriate diagnostic tests. The treatment consists of a complex of diet and the above drugs in the dosage you need.

Treatment of this disease is multilevel and quite complex, because you need not only to resort to medicines, but also to change the patient's lifestyle.

We will tell in order. Most often develops acute pancreatitis, the treatment of which medicines should be carried out immediately. However, the idea that treatment with pharmaceutical drugs in this situation can cure is incorrect.

Some patients have already developedstandard presentation scheme: pancreatitis - treatment - tablets. However, in practice this can be completely wrong. The fact is that some forms of pancreatitis are perfectly docked by the diet, which means that patients do not need to take medicines. After all, it is important to understand that pancreatitis develops only when a toxic agent acts on the pancreas (it can be anything: alcohol, fatty foods, medicinal product). The iron starts to work in a strengthened mode, trying to digest and remove these substances from the body, but if the toxins still come - it does not stand up and develops acute pancreatitis. Treatment of such a disease first of all should begin with the cessation of the intake of toxic substance into the body, and then it is already possible to use medicinal preparations. Of course, you can not stop a sharp attack of pancreatitis with just one diet, but to prevent it, diets will be enough.

What is meant by the word "diet"? This food intake fractional parts from 6 to 8 times a day. Exception from the diet of fatty, fried and smoked food, as well as alcohol, even in small quantities.

If a patient is diagnosed with pancreatitis,treatment and prevention which he wants and can carry out with the help of a diet, he will need to completely change his way of life. The food should be steamed, not too hot, you need to reduce the amount of salt, mayonnaise, sauces and seasonings consumed. One can not even talk about chips, nuts, crackers and other foods rich in preservatives and various additives. All of them are immediate toxic agents for the pancreas.
