Treatment of cholecystitis in Nikolaev

Cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder wall. According to observations of gastroenterologists, it is one of the most common pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract. This inflammation hinders digestion and accessibility of nutrients from food. With cholecystitis, the outflow of bile is disordered, its stasis in the ducts develops, and stones are formed in the gallbladder. In the following, biliary retention itself induces an inflammation of the organ, which increases the pathological process and can lead to a chronic course of the disease.

Causes and symptoms of cholecystitis

The causative agents of the disease are often the pathogens (staphylococci, E. coli, etc.), helminths (lamblia, ascarids, etc.), as well as a decrease in secretion in the stomach and abdominal trauma. The disease often occurs against the background of other pathologies of the digestive tract, for example, with pancreatitis or gastritis. However, the most common factor that causes cholecystitis is overeating and a sedentary lifestyle.

There are acute and chronic forms of the disease.

Acute cholecystitis progresses rapidly and is accompanied by severe painful spasms, vomiting and jaundice.

Chronic cholecystitis develops gradually against the background of other digestive disorders. Disorder of bile outflow and its stagnation promote the thickening of the gallbladder wall and the formation of erosion and ulcers on the mucous membrane of the organ.

There are two main types of disease:

• calculous cholecystitis (with stones in the gallbladder or ducts);
• acalculous cholecystitis (without formation of stones).

Signs of chronic inflammation:

• constant aching pain in the right hypochondrium;
• defecation disorder;
• bloating;
• nausea and vomiting;

Symptoms of cholecystitis are especially aggravated 2-3 hours after eating, against stress or exhaustion.
