A disease that can be easily confused with gallstones

Because most people still don't know much about gallstones, when gallstones occur, they are easy to confuse gallstones with some diseases that they are familiar with, which is definitely not good, so let's introduce to you the diseases that are easy to be confused with gallstones.

1. Chronic gastritis: the main symptoms are epigastric distension and pain, belching, loss of appetite and history of dyspepsia. Fiber gastroscopy is extremely important in the diagnosis of chronic gastritis and may detect gastric mucosal edema, hyperemia, yellowish-white or grayish-yellow mucosal color, and mucosal atrophy. Hypertrophic gastritis may show hypertrophy of mucosal folds or nodules with erosions and superficial ulcers.

2. Peptic ulcer: There is a history of ulcer, epigastric pain is related to the regularity of diet, and gallstones and chronic cholecystitis are often aggravated after eating, especially high-fat food. Ulcer disease tends to occur acutely in spring and autumn, while gallstone chronic cholecystitis is more likely to occur at night. Barium swallow and fiberoptic gastroscopy have obvious distinguishing value.

3. Gastric neurosis: although there is a history of long-term recurrent attacks, it is not obviously related to greasy eating, and is often closely related to mood swings. Nervous vomiting is common, vomiting occurs suddenly after eating, generally no nausea, the amount of vomiting is not much and effortless, and you can eat after vomiting, which does not affect your appetite and food intake. The disease is often accompanied by systemic neurological symptoms, which can be relieved by suggestive therapy, and it is not difficult to distinguish them.

4. Gastric prolapse: This disease may have prolapse of other organs such as liver and kidney. Epigastric discomfort is aggravated after meals, symptoms are relieved in the lying position, and the middle and lower abdomen are distended on upright examination, while the upper abdomen is empty, and sometimes the stomach pattern may be seen with a vibrating sound, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by barium swallow.

5. Renal prolapse: There are often symptoms such as poor appetite, nausea and vomiting, and it is more common on the right side, but the pain in the right upper abdomen and waist is aggravated when standing and walking, and colic pain can occur and radiate to the lower abdomen.During physical examination, palpation is performed in the recumbent, sitting, and standing positions, and if the right upper quadrant mass is found to be displaced due to changes in body position, it is meaningful to distinguish between the lying and upright renal x-rays and intravenous urography.

It can be seen that the diseases that are easy to be confused with gallstones are also some diseases of the organs around the gallbladder, because the parts of the occurrence are relatively close, so they are easy to be confused by people, so in order to correctly distinguish gallstones, we should not judge blindly, it is best to go to the hospital to diagnose it, which is the best.
