Research Notes on Chronic Pancreatitis Symptoms
Chronic pancreatitis is the repeated swelling of the pancreas which leads to scarring and a loss of function in the organ.1 The symptoms associated with this illness include abdominal pain, digestive problems, fatty stools, nausea and vomiting, unexplained weight loss, and pale or clay-colored stools.1 Alcohol consumption is often a cause of chronic pancreatitis, and the continued drinking of it may make symptoms worse.1
Fast Facts:
- Abdominal pain is usually located in the upper abdomen, may spread to the back, and may eventually become continuous.2
- Sitting up and leaning forward may decrease abdominal pain.1
- Symptoms mimic those of pancreatic cancer.3
