If the pancreas becomes diseased, it can be life-threatening. There are various symptoms that can occur. Then it is important to act quickly.
The pancreas is essential for survival because it regulates our digestion. The organ produces enzymes that the body needs to break down nutrients such as fat, carbohydrates, and protein from food. The pancreas, also known as the pancreas, also produces insulin. The hormone regulates blood sugar levels.
Disturbed blood sugar levels or digestive problems are therefore often the first signs of pancreatic disease. The problem: There are many other possible causes for such problems. These include irritable bowel syndrome, stress, food intolerance, and even diabetes.
Only a doctor can make the right diagnosis and initiate the appropriate therapy. If you have a number of complaints listed below, you should not hesitate and make an appointment with a doctor.
