What is "pancreatitis"?

The inflammation can cause various symptoms, including severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, fever, and rapid pulse. Pancreatitis can be occur suddenly and last for a short period, or it can persist over time and lead to permanent damage to the pancreas. Common causes of pancreatitis include excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, infections, and genetic factors. Treatment for pancreatitis typically involves hospitalization to manage symptoms, fasting to allow the pancreas to rest, fluids given through a vein to prevent dehydration, and pain management. In severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent serious problems such as pancreatic failure or death.
