What is ERCP?

ERCP, or Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography, is a procedure that uses an endoscope (a flexible tube with a light and camera) to examine the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. It allows doctors to diagnose and treat conditions such as blockages, stones, and tumors.

  • Avoid Alcohol: Limiting or avoiding alcohol consumption to prevent pancreatitis and liver disease.
  • Regular Check-Ups: Routine medical examinations to monitor liver and pancreatic health.
  • Manage Chronic Conditions: Proper management of conditions like diabetes and gallstones.
