Types of cholecystitis Symptoms of acute cholecystitis

For example, for patients with cholecystitis, they should first pay attention to their diet, and some foods are best not to eat, but cholecystitis, a digestive disease, we should also understand, but we should first pay attention to the disease of cholecystitis.

1. Acute cholecystitis

Many patients develop the disease in the middle of the night after eating a greasy dinner, because a high-fat diet can strengthen the contraction of the gallbladder, and lying flat is easy for small gallstones to slide into and incarcerate the cystic duct. The main manifestations are persistent pain and paroxysmal exacerbation in the right upper quadrant, which can radiate to the back of the right shoulder; It is often accompanied by fever, nausea and vomiting, but chills are rare and jaundice is mild. Abdominal examination revealed that the right upper quadrant was full, and the abdominal muscles in the gallbladder region were tense, markedly tender, and rebound tender.

2. Chronic cholecystitis

Symptoms and signs are atypical. Most of the manifestations are biliary dyspepsia, aversion to greasy food, epigastric distention, belching, heartburn, etc., which are similar to ulcer disease or chronic appendicitis; Sometimes the cystic duct is obstructed by a stone, which can be acute, but it improves rapidly when the stone moves and the obstruction is relieved. On physical examination, there may be mild tenderness or percussion pain in the gallbladder area; If there is fluid in the gallbladder, a round, smooth cystic mass is often palpable.

However, what patients with cholecystitis still need to understand is how they should be diagnosed and treated, and if the disease is acute, surgery is sometimes needed to reduce the patient's pain.
