Chronic pancreatitis is a progressive inflammatory condition that affects the pancreas and causes long-term damage to the organ. It is commonly associated with alcohol abuse, but other factors such as gallstones, genetics, and autoimmune disorders can also contribute to its development.
Treatment for chronic pancreatitis involves medical management with pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and pain medications, lifestyle changes such as quitting alcohol and adopting a low-fat diet, endoscopic interventions like duct stenting or pseudocyst drainage, and surgical options like partial or total pancreatectomy depending on the severity and complications of the disease.
Dietary adjustments, regular follow-up visits, and lifestyle modifications, including avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy weight, support long-term management and aid in the recovery process. Adherence to medical guidance and ongoing care are crucial for optimal outcomes.
Mr. Sanjit Paul from West Bengal successfully received treatment for Chronic Pancreatitis at Yashoda Hospitals, Hyderabad, under the supervision of Dr. Adi Rakesh Kumar, Consultant Gastroenterologist, Therapeutic Endoscopist & Endosonologist.
