Hereditary Pancreatitis

Hereditary pancreatitis is a genetic condition that leads to recurrent episodes of inflammation in the pancreas, an organ important for digestion and blood sugar regulation. Individuals with this condition often inherit mutated genes from their parents, which cause the pancreas to become inflamed over time. Symptoms can include severe abdominal pain, digestive issues, and an increased risk of developing pancreatic cancer. Management typically involves pain relief, dietary changes, and regular monitoring by healthcare professionals to prevent complications. Early diagnosis and intervention are key to improving quality of life and health outcomes.
