What is Pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas, a vital organ that helps with digestion and blood sugar control, becomes inflamed. It can occur suddenly (acute pancreatitis) or develop over time (chronic pancreatitis). Causes such as gallstones, alcohol use, and high triglycerides are common triggers.
- While the pain and discomfort can be severe, timely diagnosis and expert care are key to preventing complications and supporting recovery.
- With proper treatment, many patients are able to regain normal pancreatic function and lead healthy lives.

Causes & Risk Factors
Pancreatitis can result from several health conditions and lifestyle factors. Understanding pancreatitis and its causes can help reduce the risk of occurrence and prevent recurrence.
Gallstones
These block the pancreatic duct, preventing enzymes from flowing properly and triggering inflammation.
High Triglyceride Levels
Very high blood fats can irritate the pancreas and lead to inflammation.
Excessive Alcohol
Prolonged or heavy alcohol use is one of the most common causes of both acute and chronic pancreatitis.
Certain Medications & Infection
Some antibiotics, antivirals, or viral infections may damage pancreatic tissue.
Treatment for pancreatitis focuses on reducing inflammation, relieving symptoms, and preventing complications. The approach depends on whether it is acute or chronic.
Patients often require intravenous fluids, pain management, and fasting to give the pancreas rest, followed by gradual reintroduction of food.
Pain relievers, enzyme supplements, and antibiotics (when needed) help manage discomfort, aid digestion, and control infections.
In cases caused by gallstones, blocked ducts, or pseudocysts, minimally invasive endoscopy or surgery may be required to remove obstructions and restore proper function.
