What is Atrophic Pancreas?- Causes. Symptoms and Ayurvedic Treatment

Atrophic pancreas is a non-specific disease and is common in elderly patients. Atrophy is a partial or complete wasting of the part of the body. This is a reduction in the size of a cell, tissue or organ. Atrophy in general, is a physiological process of re-absorption and breakdown of tissues involving apoptosis. But if it occurs due to any pathology or as a result of disease, it is termed as pathological atrophy. In atrophy there may be a reduction in the number or in size of the cells or both. In this article we are going to discuss Atrophic pancreas and it Ayurvedic treatment

Introduction

Atrophic pancreas is the irreversible degeneration of the pancreas. This disease is associated with chronic pancreatitis. This disease involves the inflammation of the pancreas and alcohol is the main cause for this disease. This condition is a long standing inflammation of the pancreas. This long standing inflammation alters the organ’s normal structure and functions. It is characterized by irreversible damage to the pancreas from reversible changes in acute pancreatitis. This disease can lead to permanent scarring and damage to the pancreas. Atrophy of pancreas arises when chronic pancreatitis is not treated in time and causes shrinkage of the pancreas.

Treatment of Rumination Syndrome with Herbal Remedies

Abstract

Rumination syndrome is a digestive disorder. Digestive system is a very complex system. The human body uses the process of digestion to break down the food into energy. This digestive system extends from the mouth to the anus. The main functions of the digestive system is receiving food, breaking it down into nutrients and absorbing these nutrients into the bloodstream and at last eliminating the indigestive parts of food from the body. But sometimes our bad habit of eating makes our digestive system weak and causes many digestive ailments such as indigestion, GERD, IBD, rumination syndrome etc. So in this article we are going to discuss one of the digestive problems called Rumination syndrome and its ayurvedic aspect in detail.

Introduction

Rumination syndrome is a condition in which people find it difficult to store their food into the stomach. This syndrome is characterized by effortless regurgitation of the meals after consumption. This is due to involuntary contraction of the abdominal muscles. Rumination happens soon after every meal. Regurgitation occurs when recently ingested food rises or comes up into the oesophagus, throat and mouth, but involuntarily expelled out from the mouth as it is vomiting. There is no nausea, retching, heartburn or abdominal pain associated with the regurgitation. This is because regurgitated food remains undigested.

Etiology/Causes

The exact cause for rumination syndrome is not known. But some known causes for this syndrome are

  • Stress
