Chronic pancreatitis cannot heal itself, but good medical management can slow down the rate of decline of pancreatic function, while improving the individual's quality of life and preventing further problems arising.

How long does it take for a damaged pancreas to heal?

Is damage to the pancreas reversible?

The changes of chronic pancreatitis are not reversible. However, it is possible to have control of pain and steatorrhea with medical, endoscopic, percutaneous or surgical treatment.

Can you live with a damaged pancreas?
