What does pancreatic atrophy mean?

Pancreatic atrophy refers to chronic pancreatitis. There are more causes of pancreatic atrophy, such as prolonged heavy drinking, overeating, and poor living and eating habits, which can easily cause the body to develop disorders of sugar metabolism, which can lead to indigestion and cause abdominal pain and flatulence. If the examination in the hospital reveals that it is mild atrophy, the function of the pancreas will basically not be affected, so no special treatment is needed. However, if the symptoms of pancreatic atrophy are serious, the function of the pancreas will be gradually lost, which will also lead to disorders of glucose metabolism and organ failure, so the specific situation of the patient should be taken into account. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for examination and remove part or all of the atrophied pancreas with the advice of the doctor.
