When one and the same disease is located nearby and have similar functions of the organs, it progresses much faster. The consequences can be very severe, because pancreatitis, apart from cholecystitis, can cause death or to whom. Collapse is the end of the fifth part of exacerbations( the most severe cases), the most frequent is icteric sclera( yellowness of eye proteins), bloating, frequent or unceasing vomiting, girdling with pain of the whole body.
Symptoms of intoxication and peritonitis appear later, an uncharacteristic test of Voskresensky( to determine appendicitis) gives a positive result: a quick hold( without pressure) by the hand from the right rib over the stomach directly over the clothes( T-shirt, T-shirt, shirt) causes pain. Can cause cholecystitis pancreatitis, the symptoms of which are largely similar, and vice versa.
Combining these ailments is so common that it has its own name, consisting of two of these diseases. The attack begins with pain in the right side, bitterness in the mouth, apathy, growing anxiety. Then, shingles are added, the bitter aftertaste worsens with dryness, the temperature rises( rarely falls).The stool is broken in the first minutes of the attack, as well as vomiting.
Symptoms of pancreatitis and cholecystitis
Symptoms can not be absolutely identical, because the internal processes in them are different. Analyzes in both cases show an increase in ALT, AST, diastase, enzymes. The causes of the occurrence often coincide: injuries or bruises of the abdomen( including sports, for example, strikes with a tennis ball, puck, boxing glove).Have pancreatitis, cholecystitis symptoms are common, of which emit vomiting, pain syndrome, increase( in rare cases, decrease) in temperature.
Causes cholecysto-pancreatitis of liver disorders, dystrophy, inflammation, necrotic changes in border organs. Half of the cases are complicated by jaundice( which is caused by stones in the excretory pathways), sticky sweat appears on the skin, the behavior becomes restless. White scurf of the tongue is noted in 62%, vomiting indomitable or multiple.
Differences in the symptoms of cholecystitis and pancreatitis
The main differences are as follows:
- pancreas restricts pain in the left side( sometimes around the skin), biliary in the right
- , dry mouth is characteristic of pancreatic problems, bitter - bile
- , a sharp drop in pressure is not observed in biliary,the time that an increase in the pancreas often accompanies them, leading to coma or death
Pain in pancreatitis and cholecystitis
Acute pancreatitis is characterized by intense painand that is usually accompanied by nausea, severe urge to vomit, which can not come to an end as such, vomiting. If vomiting occurs, it can take a character indomitable, with severe frequent bouts.
Pain in acute pancreatitis:
- spreads in the epigastric region;
- have a circumlocutory character;
- is irradiated to the left side, under the spoon, to the left and right of it.
If inflammation affects the entire gland, such signs spread to the back and behind the sternum. There are sharp pains in the intestine, lips turn blue, pulse quickens. The general condition of a person with acute pancreatitis is much heavier than with exacerbation of cholecystitis.
For acute cholecystitis is characterized by the localization of such symptoms in the right hypochondrium, with irradiation in the direction of the back.
Pain in acute cholecystitis:
- intensifies after overeating, after a diet violation;
- appear after physical exertion;
- start on a long trip by car.
There are pains in the upper abdomen, biliary colic. Exacerbation is accompanied by typical signs of digestive disorders, when a bitter metallic taste appears in your mouth, severe nausea starts, accompanied by frequent eructations. With cholecystitis, too, the temperature may rise, but it has a paroxysmal character and rises above subfebrile values. If the stones in the gall bladder, these symptoms are similar to a heart attack.
Treatment for symptoms of cholecystitis and pancreatitis
After the examination of a sick person, the doctor prescribes treatment. It depends on the patient's condition whether it is outpatient or stationary.
During the exacerbation of cholecystitis and pancreatitis medication is prescribed, including the use of:
- antibiotics;
- anti-inflammatory drugs;
- analgesics;
- antispasmodics.
Treatment for symptoms is aimed at reducing pain, restoring the outflow of bile and enzymes from the inflamed organs. After the inflammation is removed, the physician prescribes physiotherapy, most often it is UHF and diathermy. At this stage of the disease, blind stamping is useful, which is done at home using mineral water.
For pancreatitis, the characteristic features of drug treatment are the use of enzyme preparations that facilitate digestion of food, spare the gland, and give it functional rest. If you have any pain in the abdominal area, you should consult a doctor, a local therapist, or a gastroenterologist. The doctor knows the symptoms of the disease, their mutual influence, can accurately recognize the cause and prescribe targeted treatment.
