Will pancreatitis get better on its own without medication?

Only a very small number of mild biliary pancreatitis can heal on its own, but most pancreatitis cannot heal on its own and can be life-threatening in severe cases if not treated in time. The sudden onset of abdominal pain and nausea in patients with gallstones is often indicative of bile duct obstruction and pancreatic duct obstruction caused by falling stones, which can also cause transient pancreatitis. If small stones can be discharged into the intestinal tract by changing the body position, the obstruction of the pancreas will be relieved for a short period of time, and mild pancreatitis can be relieved very quickly. However, most patients with pancreatitis usually have difficulty healing themselves due to the large amount of digestive enzymes that are released, resulting in damage to the pancreas and auto-digestion of the surrounding tissues. Patients can be treated by fasting, gastrointestinal decompression, application of drugs that inhibit gastric acid and pancreatic secretion. Severe patients require a variety of methods such as surgical exploration, pancreatic peritoneal incision as well as abdominal drainage in order to achieve a cure. Patients with pancreatitis should consult the hospital in time and standardize the treatment under the guidance of physicians to avoid delaying the condition. At the same time, it is recommended that patients pay attention to bed rest, do not exercise strenuously, avoid overeating, avoid eating cold, spicy and stimulating food.
