Chronic pancreatitis is a benign lesion that does not usually affect the survival of patients. However, if left untreated, it may evolve into pancreatic cancer, which may affect the survival of the patient. Chronic pancreatitis is a long-term inflammation of the pancreas that alters the normal structure and function of the organ. It is a disease process characterized by irreversible damage to the pancreas, unlike the reversible changes of acute pancreatitis. Normally, the main function of the pancreas is to produce digestive enzymes and hormones that can regulate blood sugar levels, so when it has chronic damage, it leads to a series of reactions in the function of the digestive tract, causing patients to show symptoms such as indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, malnutrition, etc. After active treatment, it usually does not affect the life expectancy of patients. However, some patients who cannot receive timely treatment may develop other secondary conditions such as diabetes and pancreatic cancer, which may affect the survival of patients. The current treatment measures for chronic pancreatitis are based on conservative control treatment methods, and commonly used drugs include metformin tablets, pancreatic enzyme enteric capsules, and atropine sulfate tablets. It should be noted that chronic pancreatitis is obviously related to dietary habits, so patients should prohibit smoking and alcohol, avoid overeating and pay attention to a reasonable dietary structure to prevent further deterioration of the disease.
