The pancreas and spleen are organs closely located to each other. However, the spleen is considered to be the organ of hematopoiesis, and the pancreas is a digestive organ.
The pancreas is connected by a ligament to the stomach. In certain pathologies, this body can allocate too much or, on the contrary, an insufficient amount of hormones.
As for the spleen, it is a dark red organ with a purple hue. The length of this organ is approximately 14 centimeters. She is able to accumulate an impressive amount of blood. If necessary, the organ decreases, and blood enters the bloodstream.
Treatment of spleen and pancreas
Treatment of these organs can be carried out with the help of folk remedies. For example, propolis, which has an antimicrobial effect, is often used. Tincture is taken for 30 drops half an hour before meals several times a day.
With such diseases, hops are effective enough to reduce pain. A tablespoon of cones is brewed with a glass of boiling water. After half an hour the remedy can be taken two tablespoons before each meal.
Treatment of the spleen and pancreas depends on the cause of the disease. So, as methods of treatment can be used medications, as well as chemotherapy( in leukemia).In inflammatory processes, a specialist can prescribe antibiotics in order to eliminate infections that have caused pain in these organs.
In particularly severe cases, it may be necessary to remove the spleen. After the operation, a vaccine is prescribed, which strengthens the immune system.
Meridian of the spleen and pancreas
In ancient Chinese medicine there is such a thing as the meridian of the spleen and pancreas. Its direction starts from the thumb of the lower limb. Further, it is guided along the inner side of the foot, then - along the anterior part of the tibia upwards, then laterally from the abdomen and chest, almost to the clavicle. Further, it goes down into the sixth hypochondrium.
The meridian also has branches( for example, from the stomach to the heart or from the hip to the abdominal cavity).
This conditional line contains various active points, affecting which specialists can monitor the state of the spleen and pancreas. So, the meridian has exciting, soothing and stabilizing points. The first ones are used in massage with abdominal distention and spasmodic pains, the latter - with constipation and convulsions, the third - with uterine bleeding and tachycardia.
Pancreas and spleen enlargement
Enlargement of the spleen and pancreas can occur with cirrhosis of the liver, infections in the chronic and acute stages, as well as in anemia, blood diseases and neoplasms.
In most cases, this phenomenon can be observed during palpation. If the spleen is in a normal state, it can not be palpated. With an increase in this body in size, it can capture more blood. Nevertheless, this process has an unfavorable side: the filtering properties of the organ deteriorate. As a result, too many cells are released from the blood, which subsequently leads to anemia.
Pancreas enlargement occurs due to abdominal injuries, congenital trauma or infectious diseases.
