Symptoms of chronic cholecystitis:

1. Acute attack of chronic cholecystitis

The patient had a history of cholecystitis, and the acute onset was consistent with acute cholecystitis.

Long-term dull pain in the right upper abdomen.

3. Upper abdominal distension and belching after meals.

It is only discovered during surgery or autopsy.

Causes

1. Chronic calculous cholecystitis is the same as acute cholecystitis. Gallstones can cause repeated minor attacks of acute cholecystitis, that is, chronic cholecystitis and acute cholecystitis are different stages of the same disease.

2. Chronic acalculous cholecystitis is discovered during autopsy or surgery and accounts for 2% to 10% of all gallbladder lesions.

3. Chronic atrophic cholecystitis with stones is also known as porcelain gallbladder. The inflammatory stimulation caused by stones leads to calcification of the gallbladder wall. Calcification can be limited to the mucosa, muscle layer or both. It is more common in female patients over 65 years old.

4. Xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis is rare and is caused by bile lipids entering the connective tissue of the gallbladder cavity, leading to an inflammatory reaction.

Through the above introduction, we have a good understanding of the symptoms of chronic cholecystitis. After these symptoms appear, we need to go to the hospital for examination in time. The causes of this type of disease are also explained above. When treating, it is also necessary to proceed according to the cause of the patient's disease to help control the disease.
