Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed, resulting in severe pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. The pancreas is an organ located in the abdomen behind the stomach and near the small intestine. It produces enzymes and hormones, such as insulin and glucagon, that help regulate digestion and blood sugar levels. Pancreatitis can be acute or chronic, depending on the severity and duration of the inflammation. Acute pancreatitis is typically a short-term illness, while chronic pancreatitis can last for months or even years. Common causes of pancreatitis include gallstones, alcohol use, certain medications, and genetic conditions. Symptoms vary depending on the severity, but they may include pain in the abdomen that radiates to the back, nausea and vomiting, fever, rapid pulse, and an enlarged pancreas. Treatment for pancreatitis usually involves rest, nutritional support, and sometimes medications or surgery. Depending on the underlying cause, lifestyle modifications may be necessary to reduce the risk of recurrent attacks. Severe cases of pancreatitis can be life-threatening and require hospitalization. If left untreated, pancreatitis can damage the pancreas and nearby organs, leading to complications such as diabetes and pancreatic cancer.
