Homoeopathy Treatment for PANCREATITIS.
============================
What is pancreatitis?
The pancreas is an abdominal organ located behind the stomach and surrounded by many organs, such as the liver, small intestine, and spleen. Enzymes produced from the pancreas are secreted into the small intestine to break down food once leaving the stomach. The pancreas gland also produces the hormone insulin into the bloodstream so as to modulate the body’s sugar or glucose level. These hormones help the body control the way that it converts food into energy.
Pancreatitis is a disease where the pancreas becomes inflamed. Pancreatic damage can occur when the digestive enzymes have been activated before they’re discharged. The enzymes start attacking the pancreas. Damage to the pancreas may occur if there are multiple occurrences of this attack and can cause chronic pancreatitis. This can cause scar tissue to form after some time in the pancreas, causing loss of function. A poorly functioning pancreas may lead to digestion problems and possibly diabetes.
Obstruction of the pancreatic duct due to either a benign or malignant process may cause chronic pancreatitis. Many more men than women are known to be affected. Chronic pancreatitis can begin in adults aged 40 to 50.
