Dyschyly
As Dyschylie (gr .: dys- difficult 'or' wrong 'and chyle , milky fluid') is called in medicine secretion of saliva or mucus glands (z. B. parotid gland or pancreas ).
This can lead to quantitative or qualitative disturbances. In the case of quantitative disturbances, too little secretion is formed. This is a typical finding in chronic inflammation of the parotid gland ( parotitis ), which is often associated with dry mouth ( xerostomia ). In the case of qualitative disorders, the composition of the secretion is changed. Qualitative changes in the salivary secretion example, it may be sialolith come formation. These can obstruct the ducts of the glands ( sialolithiasis ) and thereby cause severe pain, among other things.
In the pancreas, mucoviscidosis-related dyschyly (secretion too viscous) typically leads to cystic fibrosis.
