General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This may indicate chronic pancreatitis, not an acute one which is caused either by alcohol consummation or biliary stones. In most cases, it can be regulated by medicines which include insuline supplements and enzymes for digestion.

Also, alcohol is forbidden in these cases and you should eat less fatty food, less sugar and more vegetables and boiled food. Avoid citotoxic medicines.

If there is no improvement then surgical therapy may be considered and include drainage procedures or pancreas resection. This is the last option and you should consult your doctor about this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
