The clinical manifestations of pancreatitis are variable and nonspecific, so it is difficult to make a definite diagnosis. For patients with recurrent acute pancreatitis, biliary tract disease or diabetes, recurrent or persistent epigastric pain, chronic diarrhea and weight loss can not be explained by other diseases. What are the symptoms of pancreatitis? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

What symptom does pancreatitis have?

First, 95% of patients with acute pancreatitis have this symptom. Most of the pain was stabbing pain, blunt pain or knife cutting pain, which was persistent and could be aggravated paroxysmally. Most of them are located in the middle and upper abdomen, or in the upper abdomen, and radiate to the waist and back. The pain can be alleviated partly by sitting in front or lying on the knees. General analgesics are ineffective. A small number of patients without abdominal pain and sudden shock or coma, poor prognosis, one of the causes of sudden death.

Second: most patients with acute pancreatitis will have nausea, vomiting and other symptoms after onset. And also accompanied by spit out food or bile, a few can spit out Ascaris; But it's important to know that vomiting doesn't relieve the pain. Most of the patients with pancreatitis have fever above moderate degree, and persistent fever or increasing day by day, so secondary infection should be suspected, such as pancreatic abscess or bile duct infection, etc.

Third: a small number of patients with mild acute pancreatitis may have mild obstructive yellow scar, which is caused by the compression of common bile duct by swollen pancreatic head. If jaundice persists and deepens, biliary calculus should be considered. In the late stage of jaundice, pancreatic abscess or pseudocyst should be considered as the cause of common bile duct compression, or secondary liver cell damage.

matters needing attention

Milk is a fatty food, which needs the participation of bile and pancreatic lipase in the process of digestion. Drinking milk will undoubtedly increase the burden of gallbladder and pancreas, which will aggravate the disease. Especially in the early stage of pancreatitis and the recovery period after discharge, do not drink milk, strictly control the intake of fat and protein, so that the pancreas can get full rest. You can drink it after you recover from pancreatitis. Pepper, ginger, garlic, these foods are taboo for patients with pancreatitis. Irritant food, will increase the burden of the pancreas, delay the condition of pancreatitis, not conducive to treatment, condiments should not be too sour, too spicy, because it can increase the secretion of gastric juice, increase the burden of the pancreas.
