For diarrhea symptoms caused by pancreatitis, anti-infective and anti-acidic medications such as inhibitors of gastric acid secretion are typically prescribed. However, for diarrhea resulting from pancreatic cancer, surgical intervention accompanied by radiotherapy and chemotherapy is necessary.
Non-disease Factors
If a patient has recently consumed excessive spicy or irritating foods or indulged in overeating, it may trigger acute pancreatitis, manifesting as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and concurrent diarrhea. It is recommended to adjust the diet structure towards light and easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge and pumpkin porridge, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods like peppers and garlic, to prevent aggravation of the condition.
Disease Factors
1.
Anti-infection: If pancreatitis is caused by an inflammatory reaction, antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Capsules and Cefixime Tablets, taken under medical supervision, can effectively control inflammation and alleviate symptoms.
2.
Inhibition of Gastric Acid Secretion: Alongside the aforementioned medications, it is necessary to take acid suppressants like Omeprazole Enteric-Coated Capsules and Rabeprazole Sodium Enteric-Coated Tablets as prescribed to reduce gastric acid-induced damage to the gastrointestinal mucosa and promote recovery.
3.
Surgical Treatment: If conservative treatment fails and there are evident abdominal tenderness and rebound tenderness, surgical removal of the affected area may be considered. Post-surgery, further treatment plans will be devised based on pathological examination results.
4.
Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy: For pancreatic cancer-induced diarrhea, radiotherapy and chemotherapy can be used as adjunctive treatments to help eliminate cancer cells and improve quality of life. In daily life, it is also important to maintain a reasonable diet, favoring liquid or semi-liquid foods like rice soup, noodle soup, egg custard, and vegetable juice, which are easy to digest, thereby reducing the burden on the gastrointestinal system.
