If the pancreas begins to function poorly, something must be done urgently, the gastroenterologist emphasized. The consequences can be dire. For example, acute pancreatitis. “This is a serious and potentially fatal disease that requires a long time to be treated in a hospital, sometimes through surgery,” the specialist warned on his Telegram channel.
According to him, 85 percent of pancreatitis cases occur for two reasons: excessive alcohol consumption and poor functioning of the biliary system. An additional reason is fatty foods in the diet.
Here the doctor emphasized that fat is a necessary component for the normal functioning of the body. It intervenes in the formation of cell membranes and helps to better absorb soluble vitamins. But there is an important rule that many people ignore: fat consumption should be moderate.
“If the pancreas makes itself felt, there are only two attempts left to stop the dangerous disease,” Vyalov noted. The first attempt is at home, with the help of lifestyle changes and medications prescribed by a doctor. The second “is already in the hospital, with the help of the surgeons,” the doctor writes.
Sergei Vyalov also noted that “excess fat in the diet or on the sides has a negative impact on health, it can even increase the risk of developing various types of oncology.” And pancreatic cancer is no exception.
