Pancreatitis is a medical condition that occurs when the pancreas becomes inflamed. This crucial organ, located behind the stomach, plays an essential role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. If left untreated, pancreatitis can lead to severe complications.

Symptoms

What is Pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas. This condition can be acute, appearing suddenly and for a short duration, or chronic, developing over many years and causing lasting damage to the pancreas. Symptoms often include severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and rapid pulse.

Common Causes of Pancreatitis

  • Gallstones: The most common cause that blocks the bile duct.
  • Alcohol Consumption: Long-term and excessive drinking can trigger inflammation.
  • Medications: Certain medications can induce pancreatitis.
  • High Triglycerides: Elevated blood fats can cause pancreatic inflammation.
  • Genetic Factors: Hereditary conditions can increase risk.

When to Seek Medical Help?

Immediate medical attention is required if you experience:

  • Intense abdominal pain that radiates to your back.
  • Persistent nausea and vomiting.
  • Fever and rapid pulse.
  • Unintended weight loss.
