Diet after relief of acute cholecystitis

After the relief of acute cholecystitis, he still needs to pay attention to his diet: First, he should avoid spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, barbecue, garlic, etc., avoid hard-to-digest foods, and avoid foods high in fat to reduce the burden on the gallbladder, such as fatty animal organs. Second, although the symptoms of acute cholecystitis have recovered, it is still necessary to maintain a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamins and trace elements, to keep the bowels open and prevent other complications.

How to Diagnose Cholecystitis

The definitive diagnosis of cholecystitis mainly involves the following aspects: First, clinical manifestations are crucial. The most common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, and loss of appetite. Regarding physical examination, there is typically pain in the lower right abdomen and mid-lower right abdomen, with tenderness upon palpation. Furthermore, the onset of cholecystitis is characterized by postprandial pain, particularly after consuming fatty foods or feeling overly full. If these symptoms are present, further examination such as gallbladder ultrasound can be conducted to check for thickening of the gallbladder wall. Additionally, blood tests for inflammatory markers like complete blood count and CRP (C-reactive protein) can be performed. The diagnosis of cholecystitis can be confirmed by combining these symptoms and test results.

Do you need to fast and hold your urine for a gallbladder inflammation B-ultrasound?

When undergoing an ultrasound for cholecystitis, fasting is required, but there is no need to hold urine. However, if the examination involves the adnexa of the uterus, bladder, prostate, and other areas, it requires holding urine to perform the test, allowing the prostate, adnexa, etc., to sufficiently distend. This helps in more clearly observing pathological changes. Patients with cholecystitis need to fast before an ultrasound. If food is consumed before the scan, the gallbladder contracts more quickly, making it difficult to accurately identify lesions. Patients with cholecystitis may experience chills, fever, right upper abdominal pain, jaundice, yellowing skin, dark urine, etc. In severe cases, patients may develop septic shock and require active treatment measures.

Does cholecystitis hurt?

Whether cholecystitis is painful depends on the nature of the inflammation. If it is acute cholecystitis, it often causes severe pain in the gallbladder area, which is persistent and accompanied by chills, fever, poor spirit, loss of appetite, and even jaundice. If it is chronic cholecystitis, there may not be obvious symptoms of gallbladder pain. However, it can lead to an acute attack of chronic cholecystitis under the conditions of chills, high-fat diet, or other causes, which then causes pain in the gallbladder area.
