Pancreatitis is inflammation of the Pancreas.
Inflammation causes swelling and pain. If you have pancreatitis, it
might feel like stomach pain that spreads to your back. Homeopathy can treat
acute and chronic pancreatitis based on symptoms of presentation with good
results. Homeopathy offers a cure to the problem of chronic pancreatitis when
taken for a particular period of time
The pancreas is an organ
in the abdomen. It sits between the stomach and spine.
The pancreas is involved in digestion and regulating your blood sugar.
There are two types of
pancreatitis: acute and chronic.
Acute pancreatitis is a
temporary condition. It happens when your pancreas is attempting to recover
from a minor, short-term injury. Most people with acute pancreatitis will
recover completely in a few days with supportive care: rest, hydration, and
pain relief. However, a very severe case of acute pancreatitis can cause
serious health complications, some of them life-threatening.
Chronic pancreatitis is a
long-term, progressive condition. It doesn’t go away and gets worse over time.
It happens when the injury or damage to your pancreas never stops. Chronic
pancreatitis will eventually do lasting damage to your pancreas, although it
may take many years. Constant inflammation causes scarring of your pancreas
tissues, which stops them from making enzymes and hormones.

Abdominal pain from pancreatitis may be moderate to severe and may radiate to the back.
Acute pancreatitis tends to be more severe, with a penetrating
quality. The abdomen may feel tender to the touch. With chronic pancreatitis,
the pain may vary in intensity. It may come and go, but it typically doesn’t go
away completely. For some people, the pain is constant.
