Pancreatitis is the inflammation of the pancreas, an organ that helps in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It can develop suddenly (acute pancreatitis) or as a long-term condition (chronic pancreatitis). Both require timely diagnosis and medical attention to prevent serious complications.

The two most common causes are gallstones and excessive alcohol use, though other factors like high triglycerides, certain medications, or infections may also play a role.

Symptoms of Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis symptoms can vary from mild to life-threatening. Watch for:

• Severe abdominal pain (radiating to the back)
