The abdominal pain of acute pancreatitis is usually severe and unbearable, and the pain gradually worsens with the progress of the disease.
Acute pancreatitis is due to the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes, causing its own tissues to be digested, resulting in damage such as edema, hemorrhage and necrosis, and is divided into acute edema and acute hemorrhagic necrosis pancreatitis.
The abdominal pain of acute pancreatitis is mostly severe abdominal pain in the upper abdomen, the pain is mainly caused by the congestion, edema and necrosis of the pancreas stimulating the peripheral nerves, and the abdominal pain of some patients radiates to the back.
When acute pancreatitis progresses to acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis, some patients have very severe pain, which may even lead to painful shock, which is more dangerous.
Therefore, in order to avoid the progression of pancreatitis, patients should follow the doctor’s instructions, actively remove the cause of pancreatitis or triggers, control the inflammation, then the pain will naturally be gradually relieved.
