B-ultrasound of cholecystitis

Cholecystitis is a relatively common disease. B-ultrasound is usually used to check whether a person has cholecystitis. It can better diagnose the symptoms of the gallbladder and is very helpful in treating cholecystitis. Cholecystitis is divided into two types: chronic and acute. The chronic type will cause symptoms such as abdominal distension, belching and burning sensation, while the acute type will cause persistent or paroxysmal pain. Regardless of which type it is, you must actively cooperate with the treatment.

B-ultrasound is still very helpful in the diagnosis of cholecystitis. But you can’t rely on it alone. You can go for a liver and gallbladder ultrasound, which requires an empty stomach. If conditions permit, you can have an electronic gastroscopy. Your symptoms seem to be caused by bile reflux gastritis.

Symptoms of cholecystitis include:

1. The symptoms and signs of chronic cholecystitis are atypical. Most of the symptoms are biliary indigestion, aversion to greasy food, upper abdominal distension, belching, heartburn in the stomach, etc., which are similar to ulcer disease or chronic appendicitis. Sometimes, due to stones blocking the gallbladder duct, it may be an acute attack, but when the stones move and the obstruction is relieved, the condition will improve rapidly. Physical examination may reveal mild tenderness or percussion pain in the gallbladder area. If there is hydrops in the gallbladder, a round, smooth cystic mass can often be felt.

2. Many patients with acute cholecystitis develop the disease in the middle of the night after eating a greasy dinner, because a high-fat diet can increase the contraction of the gallbladder, and lying flat can easily make small gallstones slide into and become embedded in the gallbladder duct. The main symptoms are persistent pain in the right upper abdomen, which worsens intermittently and may radiate to the right shoulder and back; it is often accompanied by fever, nausea and vomiting, but chills are rare and jaundice is mild. Abdominal examination revealed fullness in the right upper abdomen, tense abdominal muscles in the gallbladder area, and obvious tenderness and rebound pain. Generally, it is recommended to treat cholecystitis with the traditional Chinese medicine Depu Yushi Pocha to soothe the liver and gallbladder, regulate qi and remove dampness.

B-ultrasound is an imaging examination method, which means that it can only provide help when the morphology or internal structure changes. There are many diseases that only change in function but not in morphology, so B-ultrasound cannot provide an effective diagnostic basis for these diseases. Simple cholecystitis means that the gallbladder wall is not thickened. In this case, ultrasound examination is not very useful, but an experienced doctor can make a diagnosis through questioning and pressure. According to your medical history and treatment results, it should be acute cholecystitis.
