There is no doubt that cholecystitis symptoms can be extremely painful. What’s more, they can reduce your quality of life and make it impossible to keep to a regular schedule. The reason for this is that some of the associated symptoms of cholecystitis require you to spend a great deal of time in the bathroom, make it painful to move without severe stomach pain or even making it difficult to breath normally.

Cholecystitis occurs when gallstone symptoms appear and then get lodged in the cystic duct. This causes bile to build up in the gallbladder, which in turn causes a myriad of symptoms. The most common of the cholecystitis symptoms is pain in the abdomen area. This pain can be light or severe depending on the situation. However, other issues are nausea and vomiting and fever and pain when taking deep breaths.

While symptoms of cholecystitis might be a continual thing, in some cases, much of the symptoms that occur from cholecystitis come usually right after eating. In some people, the discomfort from cholecystitis can last for up to 6 hours after eating a meal. This can be a terrible time for some people.

Now that you understand what cholecystitis symptoms are, you may want to know the best way to treat this condition. For some people, nothing needs to be done. Some people experienced this condition temporarily, which is called acute cholecystitis. It may be something you have to deal with from time to time, but since it is not regularly recurring, there is no reason for alarm.

For others who have it more frequently, which is called chronic cholecystitis, bowel rest (which means being fed intravenously), pain medication and antibiotics via IV. However, for those with chronic cholecystitis, whether from reoccurring inflammation or excessive gallstones, the end result may be to surgically remove the gallbladder or to follow a program to get it under control. 

You might think you need your gallbladder and while it is nice to have one to aid in the digestion of food, it is not necessary to have one. At the same time, you were born with it so why not hang on to it and let it do what it’s suppose to. What you might find is that spicier or heavier foods will leave you prone to heartburn or acid reflux, however, those are about the only real side effects of not having a gallbladder. If you are experiencing these symptoms, then your doctor will suggest removing the gallbladder, for some people it’s the only sure way to give any relief to these troubles.
