What is Pancreatitis?
Pancreatitis is a condition in which the pancreas becomes inflamed. The pancreas is an organ located near the stomach that produces enzymes and hormones that help the body digest food and regulate blood sugar levels. Pancreatitis can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Symptoms of pancreatitis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and rapid heartbeat.

Acute pancreatitis usually resolves with rest, a healthy diet, and medications to reduce inflammation and pain. Chronic pancreatitis is more difficult to treat, but it can be managed with medications, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove damaged or diseased tissue.
