What is Pancreatitis?

Pancreatitis occurs when digestive enzymes become activated while still inside the pancreas, leading to inflammation and tissue damage. At Basavanna Hospitals, we specialize in treating both:

  • Acute Pancreatitis - Sudden inflammation, often reversible with proper treatment
  • Chronic Pancreatitis - Long-term inflammation leading to permanent damage

Symptoms of Pancreatitis

  • Severe upper abdominal pain (radiating to the back)
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Fever and rapid pulse
  • Swollen/tender abdomen
  • Weight loss (in chronic cases)
  • Oily, foul-smelling stools (steatorrhea)
