Main Symptoms of Chronic Pancreatitis

Chronic pancreatitis is a persistent inflammatory-fibrosing condition of the pancreas that destroys exocrine and endocrine tissue. Onset is gradual, with pain dominating early stages and maldigestion or diabetes appearing later. Alcohol, smoking, gene variants, and obstructive causes are common triggers. Symptom recognition allows early enzyme replacement, glycaemic control, and intervention for complications. Pain syndromesEpigastric boring pain: radiates straight through to the back, worse 15–30 min after eating or when lying supine; patients often lean forward or sit on the edge of the bed for relief.Flare-ups: acute-on-chronic episodes with intensified pain, nausea, and tachycardia indistinguishable from acute pancreatitis.Pain-free period: up to...

Acute Gastritis: How Many Days Until the Stomach Recovers

The time it takes for acute gastritis to return to normal depends on the severity of the condition. Typically, recovery can be expected within two weeks. Acute gastritis is usually caused by improper diet, intake of irritating medications, stress, or trauma, leading to acute damage to the gastric mucosa. Clinical manifestations typically include abdominal pain, acid reflux, nausea, vomiting, and fever. Patients with mild symptoms often recover on their own within 1 to 2 days.

Main Symptoms of Chronic Colitis

Chronic colitis is a long-standing inflammatory or ischemic process that damages the colonic mucosa and, in some forms, the deeper layers. It includes ulcerative colitis, Crohn colitis, microscopic colitis, diversion colitis, and chronic ischemic change. Symptoms wax and wane over months to years, and overlap with irritable bowel syndrome is common. Recognising the dominant pattern guides colonoscopic evaluation, histologic confirmation, and tailored therapy.

Main Symptoms of Acute Gastritis

Acute gastritis is a sudden inflammation of the gastric mucosa, most often triggered by medications, alcohol, bile reflux, viral or bacterial toxins, and physical stress. The condition may range from mild erythema to erosive bleeding, with symptoms developing rapidly and usually resolving within days. Rapid recognition supports removal of the offending factor and prompt symptom relief. Core gastric complaintsEpigastric pain: burning, gnawing, or dull soreness centered between the costal margins, often worsened by an empty stomach and partially relieved by food or antacids.Nausea: persistent urge to vomit, sometimes accompanied by hypersalivation.Vomiting: initially gastric contents; bile-stained or coffee-ground material appears when...

Main Symptoms of Acute Enteritis

Acute enteritis is a sudden inflammatory or infectious insult to the small-intestinal mucosa. It peaks within hours to a few days, usually resolves within one week, and ranges from mild cramps to rapidly dehydrating diarrhea. Recognising the characteristic features helps guide fluid replacement, diet choices, and the decision to seek medical care. Red-flag combinations demanding urgent reviewPersistent vomiting preventing oral intake, bloody diarrhea with orthostatic hypotension, continuous abdominal rigidity or localized rebound tenderness, fever >39 °C with altered consciousness, and oliguria despite attempted rehydration.
