This is an inflammatory process that occurs in the pancreas due to the activation of digestive pancreatic enzymes. Most often, this disease occurs in patients with cholelithiasis or chronic cholecystitis, as well as due to alcohol abuse.
The main symptoms of the acute form of the disease include nausea, vomiting and cutting pain in the upper abdomen.
Chronic pancreatitis

Causes and prerequisites of a chronic disease: alcoholism, excessive use of medicines, malnutrition and chronic diseases of other organs of the digestive tract.
Symptoms of the chronic form of the disease are similar to the symptoms of an acute form of the disease: vomiting, nausea, pain in the upper abdomen and a rapid decrease in total body weight.
This disease is quite unpleasant and painful, therefore it will be necessary to apply a large amount of effort to neutralize the negative effects of it on the body.
