Dealing with Pancreatitis


Pancreatitis is an acute disease of the pancreas, an organ which is located behind the stomach. In case of pancreatitis, which can be either acute or chronic, digestive enzymes tend to digest the organ itself, thus resulting in serious complications. Acute pancreatitis may last for a short time, while the chronic disease keeps getting worse with passing time, thereby resulting in permanent damage. Chronic pancreatitis may be attributed to excessive alcohol intake, gallstones, or cystic fibrosis. Hence, it is always better to be aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease and to look for the best pancreas specialist in Delhi or near your home, as they have proper knowledge of the disease and can suggest a proper treatment.



What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?
Mild or severe pain in the upper side of the abdomen, which might spread to the back too, is a characteristic sign of both chronic and acute pancreatitis. However, those suffering from acute pancreatitis may feel the pain in a different way as compared to those afflicted with the chronic disease.  Some of the other symptoms of acute pancreatitis include vomiting, fever, increase in heartbeat, and swelling in the abdomen. However, in case of chronic pancreatitis, one might not observe any sign of the disease till the time there are complications. Some of the signs of this chronic disease are nausea, diarrhoea, reduction in weight, and greasy stools.

Why one should consult a pancreas specialist?
Seeking the right care at the right time is of utmost importance for curing this disease. Depending upon the condition, some of the best pancreas specialists in Delhi offer various treatment options to those afflicted with the disease. Patients suffering from acute pancreatitis might be given pain medicines as well as intravenous fluids, while some whose condition is severe, might have to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for constant observation as the disease might damage other organs as well. Patients might also have to undergo gallbladder surgery or other processes for removing obstructions from the bile duct. Some of the specialists may also feel a need to perform pancreas surgery in order to drain liquid from the organ or to get rid of diseased tissue. For treating chronic pancreatitis, pancreas specialists might suggest some medicines for controlling pain or pancreatic enzyme supplements in order to assist the breaking down the food.

Hence, it is important to consult pancreatitis specialists at the earliest as they can offer quality care, which in turn can improve outcomes over a period of time.

  1. Hi,
    Took Onglyza off and on for a year. I  have an enlarged adrenal gland. Still I await the outcome of that CT, but I know that much. Will find out more.
    I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week. My PA put Onglyza on my allergies list.
    In the meantime, I lost almost 50 lbs in 5 months due to illness. Loss of appetite, pancreatic pain, chronic diarrhea, then eventually, inability to move my bowels. Severe back pain from the pancreas, and severe chest pain sent me to the ER where I was worked up for cardiac pain. I was cardiac cleared, but told my amylase was very low.
    Still seeking a diagnosis, but I lay the blame squarely on Onglyza. I'd had pancreatic issues in the past, and argued with the PA that prescribed it, she was calling me non-compliant, and I feared repercussion from my insurance company.
    I even took an article about the dangers of Onglyza, particularly in patients with a history, and she made me feel foolish.
    I wish I had listened to my instincts, I fear not only damage to my pancreas that is irreversible, but also severe damage to my left kidney, though I have bilateral kidney pain.
    I was off all diabetes meds, and control sugars strictly low to no carb. I can barely eat anymore, I have severe anorexia.
    I would warn anyone taking Onglyza to consider a change and try Dr Itua Herbal Medicine, and anyone considering taking it, to select a different avenue. I have been suffering severely for about 9 months, but the past 7 months have been good with the help of Dr Itua herbal medicine which I took for 4 weeks.
    I have been off Onglyza now, for 7 months, and simply 100% improvement with the help of Dr Itua. I had none of these issues except a history of pancreatitis in my distant past.
    I will recommend anyone here with health problem to contact Dr Itua on drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com and whatsapp +2348149277967 also he ccure the following disease with his herbal medicines Hiv/Aids,Herpes,Copd, Glaucoma, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Lung disease, Enlarged prostate, Alzheimer's disease, Dementia.

  2. An inflammation of the pancreas is known as Pancreatitis. The pancreas is an organ that produces digestive enzymes. Pancreatitis might start any day and continue for long period and it requires immediate medical attention. It is of two types- acute pancreatitis and chronic pancreatitis. Although the treatment usually requires hospitalization, pancreatitis can be easily stabilized and the underlying cause can be treated thereafter.
