Pancreatitis care at Manipal Hospitals begins with a detailed consultation and clinical evaluation by a specialist. Doctors review symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and digestive discomfort. Medical history and lifestyle factors are also assessed to understand possible causes, including gallstones or alcohol-related pancreatitis. Blood tests are conducted to evaluate pancreatic enzyme levels. Imaging tests such as CT scans or MRI help identify inflammation, swelling or structural changes in the pancreas.
After confirming the diagnosis, specialists develop a personalised treatment plan based on the severity and underlying cause. Pancreatitis treatment may include pain relief, intravenous fluids and nutritional support to aid recovery. If gallstones are responsible, procedures may be recommended to remove blockages or prevent recurrence. Chronic pancreatitis may require pancreatic enzyme supplements, dietary guidance and blood sugar monitoring. Doctors also provide advice on lifestyle changes such as avoiding alcohol and maintaining a balanced diet.
Regular follow-up visits help monitor progress and detect complications early. Ongoing evaluation ensures that pancreatic function, digestion and overall health are carefully managed through appropriate medical care.
