Is the pancreas recovering?

Full restoration of the pancreas, according to doctors, is impossible, since the processes running in it are irreversible. The most encouraging results of restorative therapy can be achieved at an early stage of the disease, if it is diagnosed in time. Correct therapy and adherence to diet constitute a complex method used to improve the activity of a vital organ. Careful implementation of medical prescriptions will help to reduce negative symptoms, improve the quality of life of the patient and restore a certain level of functionality.

Treatment of the affected organ

Medical tactics in the treatment of pancreatitis is determined by several components, which include not only the form of the disease, but also its etiology, stage of development, and the nature of the changes that have occurred.

The opinions of clinicians on the question of whether the pancreas is restored if the inflammatory process in pancreocytes has become the cause of the lesion may differ. Some are more optimistic, others are sure that it is impossible to achieve a full recovery, especially if the disease has led to the development of diabetes. The pancreas is an organ without which normal digestion is almost impossible, because its main functions are the production of hormones and enzymes that direct this process in the body.

Inflammation of its tissues begins for various reasons, initially in an acute form, which can be eliminated and stopped with the right treatment. Ignoring the emerging acute processes over time leads to the development of chronic sluggish pancreatitis. In it, periods of remission, under the influence of a provocateur, are permanently punctuated by exacerbation processes, the course of which is very reminiscent of acute attacks. The main task of treatment for CP is aimed at prolonging the patient's successful existence and eliminating negative symptoms upon the onset of an acute one.

Chronic pancreatitis can develop under the influence of variable causes, the presence of which gave reason to create a separate, etiological classification. It takes into account what exactly influenced the occurrence of inflammation:

• pathological activity of the digestive system, most often, the hepatobiliary segment (liver, gallbladder, ducts), although other chronic diseases can also lead to inflammation;
• periodic intoxication (alcohol, fumes from hazardous production, unfavorable ecology, constantly used drugs);
• other causes are injuries, hormonal imbalances, unsuccessful operations, infections, parasitic infestations, congenital anomalies of the structure.

Presumably, the mechanism of triggering the inflammatory process starts in an organism in which there is a predisposition inherent in the recessive gene section, which is inherited. Treatment is determined depending on the form, stage and changes present, and it begins with the elimination of the provocateur. If alcohol is the precipitating factor, no medications, herbs, or diet will work as long as the patient continues to use it.

The main goal of treatment for pancreatitis is to stop the inflammatory process, but this is not possible if the pathogenic agent continues to act on the cells of the pancreas. Both surgical and therapeutic effects will be unsuccessful if the process has gone too far, and irreversible changes have occurred in pancreocytes - calcifications, diffuse changes, cysts and pseudocysts, tumors.

Restoration of the pancreas

The pancreas is restored by similar methods that give a slow result, approximately similar in acute course and exacerbation of a chronic process. In the latter case, it is rarely necessary to talk about complete recovery, but in the case of primary acute, approximately 70% of patients can be cured. Such effectiveness is possible if the treatment is started at the first signs of the disease, and in the future the patient strictly follows the medical prescriptions. The danger of any inflammatory process in the pancreas is that the initial period proceeds in a latent course - that is, it does not give visible signs until it reaches the stage of visible manifestations.

If symptoms are present, they resemble mild food poisoning, or diseases of other digestive organs. The patient is trying to treat them with available methods, but the pancreas can only be restored with a certain tactic:

• fasting for several days, taken to completely rest the affected organ, which should not produce enzymes (they, especially in the obstructive form, attack the gland itself);
• a gradual transition to a sparing diet (elimination of foods that are difficult to digest, often fractional meals, small portions of chopped or mashed food);
• drug treatment: suppression of enzymatic synthesis and secretion of gastric juice, antibiotic therapy to suppress inflammation, antispasmodics to relax smooth muscles, painkillers;
• surgery, in the presence of tumors, abscesses, polycystic disease or a single cyst of threatening size;
• homeopathic and folk remedies based on the use of natural plant components aimed at restoring pancreatic cells, normalizing digestion and stimulating immunity (so that the body can use its own forces to restore cell function).

The patient is strongly recommended a change in lifestyle - the need for a healthy diet, physical activity, abandonment of bad habits in restoring the normal functioning of the gland is undeniable. It is their violation that leads to the appearance of a functional failure, and even the relief of negative symptoms does not mean recovery. It's just an attenuation of the painful process. which flares up if the provoking factor continues to act on the cells of the gland.

Organ rehabilitation

A diet to restore the liver and pancreas is one of the main remedies prescribed by a doctor for any form and stage of the disease. Without limiting the diet and diet, it is impossible to talk about any recovery process. Rehabilitation for pancreatitis is not only dieting. Recovery of the pancreas after alcohol begins with a complete rejection of its use, after which you can start using folk remedies and special products. There are original methods for the treatment of pancreatitis at the remission stage with certain types of food components, or decoctions and herbs. Traditional medicine often does not share confidence in the effectiveness of such remedies, but traditional healers are sure that they provide significant assistance.

It is believed that rehabilitation products contribute to the restoration of the pancreas:

• a mixture of parsley, lemon and garlic, taken in equal parts and chopped, even some endocrinologists recommend this remedy;
• a method of treating pancreatitis with the use of oats (for this purpose, decoctions, oat milk and jelly, mashed mucous soups are used);
• within a month, they use an infusion of ground buckwheat on kefir, a glass of which is drunk every morning on an empty stomach;
• it is believed that applying a compress of curdled milk in the right hypochondrium helps to restore pancreatic cells, if applied regularly in the morning, and wrapped with a woolen scarf.

It is characteristic that any recommendations for treatment by non-traditional methods will certainly be accompanied by advice to first consult a doctor or stop taking it at the slightest sign of a problem. Restoration of the pancreas by folk remedies seems to be somewhat dubious to the doctor who deals with the individual patient and observes his subclinical picture. Pancreatitis can occur in any form, determined by the individual conditions of occurrence in each patient. Symptoms appear depending on the stage at which treatment is prescribed. How effective buckwheat with kefir will be with diffuse changes is anyone's guess. Just often such means have a psychological effect, give confidence.

Herbs for the restoration of the pancreas can push the body to self-healing, mobilization of the natural reserves of the body, which will begin an independent process of rehabilitation under the influence of certain components. It is known that correctly recommended homeopathic remedies can give a positive effect in the treatment of the liver, which is often a provocateur of pancreatic inflammation.

How to recover from pancreatitis

When resorting to various methods of rehabilitation, the patient should in no case forget about the basic recommendations of the doctor. The main thing that helps to avoid relapses is the elimination of provoking factors and diet. It is impossible to quickly restore damaged cells that have been negatively affected for a long time, or destroyed by permanent alcohol consumption.

First you need to consult with a gastroenterologist, whose professional duties include diagnosis and determination of tactics, how to be treated. It depends on the stage, form, mechanism of development, the presence of other diseases. After carefully carried out treatment, at the stage of remission, one can think about recovery from the disease. Until the patient changes his lifestyle, starts to follow a diet and does not give up everything that led to the disease, there can be no question of full rehabilitation.

In the treatment of pancreas, a complex method is used, including the elimination of a provoking factor (often it is the therapy of other internal organs, such as the gallbladder or liver), drug correction, folk methods - herbs and natural ingredients, the strictest diet and changing habitual lifestyle to healthy. If it is started in a timely manner, until the process has become chronic, and is strictly observed, it is possible to achieve significant progress in the course of the disease.
