It can range from a minor inconvenience to a serious and possibly fatal condition. Acute pancreatitis can be cured in the vast majority of cases with proper care. Acute pancreatitis, if left untreated, can lead to severe bleeding, tissue damage, infection, and cyst formation. When pancreatitis is bad enough to require hospitalization, it can damage the heart, lungs, and kidneys.\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Long-term pancreatitis is defined as chronic pancreatitis. It is more likely to occur after a bout of acute pancreatitis. Another major contributing factor is excessive alcohol use over an extended period of time. If you&#8217;ve been drinking heavily, your pancreas may have been damaged for years, but you may suddenly begin to have severe pancreatitis symptoms.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">At Doral Health and Wellness, the experts can take care of your gut. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Here are the services provided at Doral Health and Wellness<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Colonoscopy<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Colon Cancer Screening<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Celiac Disease Treatment<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Sigmoidoscopy<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><strong>Endoscopy<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At\u00a0<strong>Doral Health and Wellness,\u00a0<\/strong>we have doctors<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>that can help you manage your condition.
