Pancreas, a vital organ that plows silently in human digestive systems, can cause many discomforts to our bodies when inflammation occurs. Since the symptoms of pancreas can be hidden at an early stage, the knowledge of some self-testing methods helps us to detect problems in a timely manner and to take appropriate measures. Here are some of the key points for self-inspection of pancreas.
I. Abdominal signs observation
1. Location and characteristics of pain: one of the most common symptoms of pancreas is abdominal pain. Pain is usually found in the upper abdomen and is sometimes radioactive to the back, presenting a continuous form of blunt pain or strangulation. The pain may increase after eating, especially after eating greasy food, as eating stimulates pancreas to spread pancreas, which, in case of inflammation, further stimulates damaged pancreas tissue, leading to increased pain. For example, when you’re enjoying a very rich frying meal, suddenly you feel like you’re being held tight by an invisible big hand, and the pain continues unabated and even increases, and spreads to the back, you need to be wary of the possibility of pancreasitis.
2. Symptoms of pain: In addition to the pain itself, care must be taken whether it is accompanied by abdominal swelling, nausea, vomiting, etc. Insulin-induced abdominal swelling tends to be more pronounced, causing the patient to feel abdominal swelling as if a gas accumulated in the abdominal but difficult to excrete. Disgusting and vomiting are often frequent and symptoms of abdominal pain and abdominal swelling after vomiting are not significantly mitigated. This is because pancreas inflammation affects the normal creeping and digestive function of the gastrointestinal tract, which leads to food not going down normally in the gastrointestinal tract, but rather to an upward reverse. This may be a dangerous signal from pancreasitis if it is accompanied by a high incidence of incalculable nausea, vomiting and severe abdominal swelling.
II. Examination of defecation
1. Fatty laxity determination: pancreas have various digestive enzymes in insulin, in which fat enzymes play a key role in the digestion of fat. When inflammation occurs in pancreas, a decrease in incubation or in the digestive enzyme activity in the pancreas results in incomplete fat digestion, resulting in fat laxity. Fatty blubber is usually expressed in large quantities, colour, glitter and stench on the surface, often floating on the surface, and in the form of grease. For example, if you discover that your poop has become exceptionally greasy and deformed, and you have to wash it more than once in order to be clean, this may indicate a problem with pancreas function and a risk of pancreasitis, especially if the diet has not changed significantly in recent times.
2. Change of excrement habits: In addition to fatty, attention should be paid to changes in the number and patterns of defecation. Pancreas can lead to intestinal disorders, increasing or reducing the number of defecations and breaking the normal defecation habits. There may be cases of diarrhea and constipation in some cases because of the complex effects of pancreas on intestinal neurological and digestive functions. If you, who are supposed to defecate on a regular daily basis, suddenly experience a marked increase or decrease in defecation and do not return to normal for a period of time, accompanied by abdominal discomfort, the possibility of pancreasitis needs to be considered and further observed or referred to.
III. All-body symptoms
1. Heat and cold warfare: During inflammation, the body ‘ s immune system is activated, often with heat symptoms. The body temperature is generally between 38°C – 39°C and may sometimes be higher. The fever may be accompanied by cold fighting in some cases, which is a physical response to inflammation. Like a “fight” within the body, heat and cold fighting is the “blowing horn” of the immune system. In case of sudden and unproven fever, especially when accompanied by pain in the upper abdominal, nausea, etc., beware whether pancreatic inflammation is occurring.
2. Yellow blubber: when pancreas inflammation and chords on the head or pancreas swell the cholesterol, it results in a lack of cholesterol, resulting in yellow blubber. The main manifestations of yellow stings are yellowing of skin and membranes, increased urine colours, strong tea colours, light and even gray. This is due to the fact that choronin in the cholesterol is not normally released into the intestinal tract, while the reverse flow into the blood leads to higher levels of choronin in the blood, which in turn results in yellow sluice symptoms. If you find your skin, your eyes yellow, accompanied by abdominal discomfort, in particular pain in the upper abdominal, you should be treated in a timely manner to check whether it is yellow or not caused by pancreas.
IV. THE CONTEXT OF LIFE
1. The history of eating and drinking: a review of the state of their diet, and whether there is a habit of heavy consumption, heavy consumption of alcohol or long-term consumption of high fat and high protein. These poor eating behaviours are an important contributing factor to pancreas. For example, during holidays, people tend to enjoy good food, frequently participate in group meals, consume too much greasy, spicy and stimulating food, and drink too much, which increases the risk of pancreas disease. If the abdominal symptoms, defecation abnormalities or whole-body symptoms described above occur after such an eating carnival, the incidence of pancreas is highly suspected.
2. Past and family history: to know if they have a history of cholesterol, cholesterol, fat blood, etc., as these diseases are closely related to pancreas. Cholesterol patients may block the common passage between the cholesterol and the pancreas during the movement of the stones, leading to the back flow of the cholesterol into the incubine and causing pancreasitis. Excessive fat levels in the blood of patients with high lipid haemorrhagic disorders can affect the blood circulation and micro-environment of pancreas and contribute to inflammation. In addition, if there are pancreas in the family, genetic factors may make you more susceptible to pancreas. On the basis of these historical or family histories, attention is paid to minor changes in the body and periodic medical examinations are conducted to detect early signs of pancreas.
Self-inspection of pancreas requires a high degree of sensitivity and attention to our health. By looking closely at abdominal symptoms, defecation, all-body symptoms and by looking at one ‘ s own habits and past medical history, we are able to detect, to some extent, the potential risk of pancreasitis in a timely manner. It should be noted, however, that these self-testing methods are not a substitute for a professional medical diagnosis and, if it is suspected that they are suffering from pancreas, they should be treated, examined in detail and diagnosed as soon as possible in order to obtain timely and effective treatment. Let’s all be the pancreas keepers of our own bodies, caring for the health of the pancreas, away from the pancreas.
