How to prevent acute pancreatitis

  Acute pancreatitis is usually due to blockage of the pancreatic ducts and activation of pancreatic enzymes, resulting in self-digestion of the pancreas and surrounding tissues by pancreatic enzymes and secondary dysfunction of a series of organs. The typical presentation is a sudden onset of severe abdominal pain, vomiting, bloating, fever and increased blood and urine amylase a few hours after an episode of binge drinking or biliary colic.  Why does alcohol consumption cause pancreatitis?  When we overeat or drink too much alcohol, alcohol or food can stimulate pancreatic secretion and stimulation, simply put, in addition to the direct damage to the pancreas from alcohol, heavy drinking will increase pancreatic secretion, increase protein concentration easily lead to edema and spasm of the duodenal papilla or lead to blockage of the ducts of pancreatic secretion, inducing pancreatic enzymes to “advance” Activation of self-digestion, pancreatitis occurs. In addition, vomiting after drinking, spasm of the sphincter of Oddi leading to obstruction of pancreatic outflow, and reflux of duodenal fluid activating pancreatic enzymes can easily lead to acute pancreatitis. Acute pancreatitis is easily induced after overeating, especially after heavy drinking.  Although we feel that drinking is fine so many times, but we still need to remind alcoholics that the more you drink, the higher the risk of “accidents”, remember to binge drinking, heavy drinking, especially for obesity, liver and gallbladder disease people themselves should limit alcohol, abstain from alcohol.  For the general light pancreatitis, most can be cured by clinical non-surgical treatment. However, severe (necrotizing) pancreatitis should be actively treated surgically, so we should pay attention to this kind of acute pancreatitis caused by alcohol consumption. Those who have bile duct stones and gallbladder stones should avoid overeating even more. Pancreatitis has a variety of pathogenic risk factors, in addition to heavy alcohol consumption, domestic is also closely related to to gallstone disease, pancreatitis caused by gallstones is called biliary pancreatitis. The bile duct stones or gallbladder stones also binge drinking and spilling is like adding insult to injury and can easily induce pancreatitis.  These symptoms should be alert to pancreatitis If there is acute abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, you should go to the hospital in a timely manner, do not think that this is just a reaction after drinking, or just take some medicine by themselves. The diagnosis can usually be confirmed by the doctor’s examination, blood and urine amylase tests, etc. A clear diagnosis can prevent a more serious condition.
