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)
