Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini and I am pleased to assist you.
Your sonography report on pancreas is suggestive of chronic pancreatitis.
A CT scan of the abdomen may be done for confirmation.
Check your blood glucose levels.
If you have chronic diarrhea or oily stools, you may have to take pancreatic enzyme supplements.
Diverticulum in sigmoid colon could be due to poor bowel habits.
Take high fiber diet and drink plenty of fluids.
I hope that answers your question.
If you have no more questions, kindly rate this service.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
