Do you need to be hospitalized for chronic pancreatitis?

Chronic pancreatitis is usually caused by heredity, poor diet, infection and other factors. Patients will experience abdominal pain, jaundice, etc. When the symptoms are mild, they can usually be seen in an outpatient clinic and treated with medications under the guidance of a doctor, such as octreotide and pancreatic enzyme preparations, which can effectively improve the symptoms of abdominal pain.

For patients with chronic pancreatitis, they should pay attention to a low-fat diet, eat less spicy stimulating and greasy food, and strictly control the intake of high protein and sugar.
