FAQ’S
Acute pancreatitis can often be resolved with proper treatment, but chronic pancreatitis is a long-term condition that requires ongoing management to control symptoms and prevent complications.
Prevention strategies include limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy diet, managing triglyceride levels, avoiding smoking, monitoring medications that may affect the pancreas, and having regular medical check-ups if you have a family history of pancreatitis or other risk factors.
Complications of acute pancreatitis include pancreatic pseudocysts, necrotizing pancreatitis, infections, respiratory problems, and kidney failure. Chronic pancreatitis complications include malnutrition, diabetes mellitus, and pancreatic cancer.
If you suspect you have pancreatitis due to severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or other symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for managing the condition and preventing complications.
