🔬 Pancreas Problems and Their Solutions – Expert Care by Dr. Karan R. Rawat, Leading Gastro & Pancreas Specialist in Agra

The pancreas is a small but vital organ located behind the stomach, responsible for producing digestive enzymes and insulin that regulate blood sugar. Any problem with the pancreas can severely affect your digestion and metabolism, and in some cases, become life-threatening if not treated on time.

In Agra and surrounding regions, Dr. Karan R. Rawat is a renowned gastroenterologist and gastrointestinal surgeon known for his advanced care in pancreatic diseases, from diagnosis to surgery.

🧠 What Does the Pancreas Do?

The pancreas has two main functions:

🔹 Exocrine Function – Produces enzymes to help digest food in the small intestine (lipase, amylase, protease)
🔹 Endocrine Function – Produces hormones like insulin and glucagon to regulate blood sugar

⚠️ Common Pancreatic Disorders

🔹 1. Acute Pancreatitis

  • Sudden inflammation of the pancreas

  • Often caused by gallstones, alcohol abuse, infections, or high triglycerides

Symptoms:

  • Severe upper abdominal pain radiating to the back

  • Vomiting, nausea

  • Fever

  • Swollen abdomen

🔹 2. Chronic Pancreatitis

  • Long-term inflammation that leads to permanent damage

  • Causes include repeated alcohol use, genetic factors, or blocked pancreatic ducts

Symptoms:

  • Recurrent abdominal pain

  • Steatorrhea (greasy stools)

🔹 3. Pancreatic Cysts

  • Fluid-filled sacs, may be benign or pre-cancerous
