Pancreatitis can be caused by various reasons. If you have gall stones and stones trying to escape from gall bladder, that can cause pancreatitis, Some medicine can do that, High blood pressure can do that, infection including mumps can be the cause, and if you had cyst on the pancreas or an injury anytime. -titis mean inflammation. It can be treated not a big problem.
