What is the pancreas cyst?

The pancreas is a vital organ of the human body. With its help, digestive juice is formed, insulin is released, which is necessary for the normal functioning of other systems.

The most common disease is the pancreas cyst. The cyst itself is the formation of a capsule, in which a liquid begins to accumulate because of the disturbed outflow of gastric juice. Depending on the volume of fluid, the cyst is of different sizes. If the time does not take up treatment, the pancreas cyst often begins to reach the limits of the affected organ. The type of cyst depends on the content. For example, the pseudo-cyst contains digestive enzymes, a mucus-forming cystsliz, or a proteinaceous fluid. By nature, inflammatory and non-inflammatory cysts are distinguished. As a rule, inflammatory are benign neoplasms, and non-inflammatory can be both benign, and precancerous and cancerous tumors.

The causes of the pancreas cyst or various pathologies of the pancreas are acute or chronic forms of the diseases of this organ, hereditary defects (from the moment of birth), malnutrition (increased consumption of fried and fatty foods), bad habits (alcohol abuse) and Others.

First of all, the cyst of the pancreas is accompanied by the appearance of painful sensations, which can be of varying intensity and character. As a rule, with the appearance of intolerable pain, it is necessary to immediately deliver the patient to a medical institution, as this is a clear sign that the complication of the disease has begun.

The main methods of identifying the disease is considered to be examination of a specialist, ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity organs, computed tomography of the pancreas, laboratory analysis of blood analysis,

Treatment of a cyst is a complex of measures that can reduce pain and remove accumulated fluid in the affected organ. As a rule, under the supervision of a doctor, an autopsy of the cyst is performed, its complete purification. In some cases, it is necessary to remove part of the pancreas, since the boundaries of the cyst are not determined.

Also pancreatic pathologies include pancreatitis, which is an inflammatory process. Lack of timely treatment leads to various complications (for example, cyst, fistula, stones, hypertension, organ infectious diseases, etc.). If pancreatitis is the cause of cyst formation, then surgery is simply necessary. But internal drainage has a number of shortcomings. This is the possibility of infecting the infection inside the cavity, which leads to the formation of pus, and the beginning of bleeding, and the formation of scars, because of which the cyst can re-form.

Fistulas can be treated without cavitary surgery. As a rule, external fistulas of the pancreas are eliminated by draining manipulation, after which a scar is not formed, and gastric juice enters the intestine unhindered.

Very often the cyst is of a malignant nature of occurrence, therefore it is necessary to conduct a timely diagnosis in order to prevent the oncological process from developing. Malignant neoplasm must be removed. Of course, in advance the patient must undergo a full examination and receive recommendations from an oncologist. Small in size education, if they do not disturb and do not change, rarely enough turn into cancer tumors. But to prevent this, it is advisable to undergo an examination and take tests every year.
