If you have recent hiccups, acid reflux, bloating, and epigastric pain, especially nocturnal cramps, that worsen after eating greasy foods, you should consider whether you have chronic cholecystitis.
Chronic cholecystitis is a kind of chronic inflammation characterized by atrophy and small gallbladder, various stones inside the gallbladder, thickening of the gallbladder wall, and poor contractile function of the gallbladder.
The incidence of chronic cholecystitis is one to four people per 100 people, and the overall incidence rate is still quite high, although it does not affect the life expectancy, the attack is also very uncomfortable, and the treatment is relatively expensive, so it is necessary to identify the cause of chronic cholecystitis and understand its symptoms and symptoms as soon as possible.
In general, patients with gallstones, a large gastrectomy, a skipper for breakfast, and a preference for fatty and greasy foods are prone to chronic cholecystitis. Patients with chronic cholecystitis often have the following four manifestations, and they need to be vigilant!
1. Characteristic abdominal pain
The abdominal pain of cholecystitis is very distinctive, mainly manifested as recurrent right upper quadrant discomfort, which is colic in nature, and the pain is generally aggravated after eating greasy food.
In most patients with chronic cholecystitis, the pain occurs within half an hour to an hour after eating, accompanied by nausea and vomiting, and can also occur at night. If the pain is particularly severe, it will involve the lower back.
2. Atypical dyspepsia
As one of the organs of the digestive system, patients with chronic cholecystitis also often have some atypical symptoms of dyspepsia, specifically, manifested as bloating, diarrhea, loss of appetite, etc.
3. Symptoms of cholangitis
If cholecystitis involves the bile ducts, then the symptoms of cholangitis will appear, specifically, jaundice, chills, fever, and yellow urine, and the pain will be further aggravated.
4. Symptoms of biliary pancreatitis
Everyone knows that the biliary tract eventually opens in the intestines, and the pancreas also opens in the intestines, so chronic cholecystitis can easily affect the pancreas and biliary pancreatitis occurs, which is mainly manifested as pain in the lower back or other changes in the lower back.
Most patients with chronic cholecystitis can only be effectively cured by surgical treatment, and the following points should be paid attention to in daily life, one is to eat a low-fat diet, the other is to eat regularly, be sure to eat breakfast, and the third is to pay attention to rest.
