Treatments for pancreatitis will allow you to stop pain, reverse the issues causing it, and keep future complications down.

1. how to treat pancreatitis
Ways for you to treat pancreatitis naturally or by traditional methods
If you have Pancreatitis, it's important to seek treatment as quickly as possible. Pancreatitis could
be a starting point of Pancreatic Cancer. Dealing with pancreatitis can help to stop the pain that
likely got your attention in the first place, reverse the issues causing it and will keep future
complications to a minimum.
Unfortunately, pancreatitis can return and it is important to both address it quickly and get facts
about a long-term approach for keeping repeat attacks to a minimum.
Immediate Treatment
You'll typically receive treatment in a hospital to allow your pancreas to heal and make sure your
body is not going to shut down. You will recieve intravenous (IV) fluids to replace lost fluids and
maintain your blood pressure. Medicines to control pain will help you until the inflammation stops.
Most acute pancreatitis can usually be treated relatively easily (from a medical standpoint).
However, in some cases if you are suffering from severe pancreatitis, you could possibly require
intense medical support for your heart, potential ventilation for your lungs if they fail and in some
cases dialysis to support the kidneys. Almost all patients require intravenous nutrition and to be
taken off solid foods during treatment.
You can get an infection in the places where areas of your pancreas have died. This type of
infection can be fatal if left unchecked and needs skilled treatment to manage the infection and
even potentially remove the infected dead pancreas material or drain certain areas with different
procedures.
A nutritionist will begin to work together with you since you will likely not be given anything to eat
for up to a week that may help "rest" your pancreas. They will regulate your IV nutrition and speak
to you about the foods you eat.
Surgery
Surgery is done only if your pain and pancreatitis tests show you have not responded to other
treatment.
There are several procedures which can be done; two of these procedures have already been
used for many years, but one remains experimental.
Relieve blockage - Surgery called pancreaticojejunostomy removes the blockages and resulting
pressure in the pancreatic ducts. It alleviates pain in about 80 percent of people. For unknown
reasons, pain returns within 12 months in some people who undergo this procedure.
Remove a portion of pancreas - Removing very specific damaged parts of the pancreas can
relieve pain in some people with chronic pancreatitis.
Remove the pancreas and transplant islet cells - An experimental method to fix the pancreatitis
recently done in Japan involved removing the pancreas and then replacing the insulin-producing
elements (called islets).
Stop The Pain down the road
Your doctor can help stop painful outward indications of chronic pancreatitis. Simple things can

2. help you if you are diagnosed early, but more intensive measures may be required if you have
waited and done harm to your pancreas.
It is advisable to Stop Drinking - This is the Number one treatment for people with pancreatitis
that drinking caused.
You might want to move to low-fat meals - Eating more but smaller, low-fat meals and drinking
lots of fluids can reduce the discomfort of chronic pancreatitis.
You can take Pain medication - Nonprescription pain medications like Ibuprofen (to decrease
swelling) usually decrease pain.
Take Pancreatic enzyme supplements - Pancreatic enzyme restores the enzymes normally
produced by the pancreas, letting the pancreas "rest." This often reduces swelling and in turn,
pain.
You may need to try Narcotic pain medicines - These medicines are frequently recommended if
pancreatic enzymes don't stop pain and are typically used in a healthcare facility during an acute
pancreatitis attack.
Treatments that fix the pancreatic ducts - Pancreatitis creates pain if there is blockage of the
pancreatic ducts that restrict secretions from the pancreas. The back-up of pancreatic fluid in
creates pain and inflammation of the pancreas. Sometimes the surgeon needs to place a tube
into the narrowed area (called stenting). This is not a common option however as it carries its own
set of risks.
