It may also be caused by pancreatic cancer, the symptoms are relatively severe, there will be obvious abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, back pain, as well as lethargy, fatigue, fever, jaundice and other symptoms.
Pancreatic head occupancy needs to be further confirmed by abdominal CT, MRI and pathological tissue biopsy, etc. If it is a cyst or benign tumor, it is usually small in size and does not need to be treated if there is no obvious manifestation, but it needs to be surgically resected as early as possible if it is large in size and obvious in symptoms.
If it is caused by pancreatic cancer, it needs to be resected by surgery in time, and those who cannot be operated need to be treated with radiotherapy, chemotherapy and other comprehensive treatments.
