Relief from Chronic Pancreatitis in Andheri West with Expert Gastroenterologists at Curis Life

What is Chronic Pancreatitis?

Chronic pancreatitis refers to long-standing inflammation of the pancreas, which causes irreversible damage, affecting both its digestive (exocrine) and hormonal (endocrine) functions. Over time, this leads to chronic pancreatic inflammation, pancreatic calcification, and ductal dilation, interfering with digestion and blood sugar control.

Symptoms of Chronic Pancreatitis

Living with chronic pancreatic disorder can be challenging. Watch for symptoms like:

• Recurring abdominal pain (especially after meals)
• Steatorrhea (fatty, foul-smelling stools)
• Weight loss and poor appetite
• Digestive bloating and indigestion
• Pancreatic enzyme insufficiency
• Diabetes secondary to pancreatitis

Experiencing these symptoms in Andheri West? Visit Curis Life today for a thorough evaluation by our expert gastroenterologist.

Causes of Long-Term Pancreatitis

• Alcohol-related pancreatitis (long-term heavy alcohol use)
• Hereditary pancreatitis
• Biliary pancreatitis (related to gallstones or bile duct issues)
• Autoimmune conditions
• Recurrent acute pancreatitis
• Obstruction in the pancreatic duct

Our doctors in Andheri West will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the root cause and offer a personalized care plan.
