Cholelithiasis combined with chronic cholecystitis is the simultaneous presence of gallbladder stones and chronic inflammation of the gallbladder, which are often causative of each other and combined.
Cholelithiasis, i.e. gallbladder stones, are cholesterol stones or mixed cholesterol-based stones, etc.. Its cause is very complex, with obesity, hormones, high-fat diet and other factors, often manifested as biliary colic or epigastric pain after a full meal.
Chronic cholecystitis is a persistent, recurring inflammation of the gallbladder, often characterized by abdominal distension and pain after a full meal or after eating greasy food.
Cholecystitis is mainly caused by obstruction of the bile ducts and biliary stasis, while cholelithiasis can lead to obstruction of the bile ducts, and chronic inflammation from repeated infections can promote the formation of gallstones, and the two are often the cause and effect of each other.
When cholelithiasis is combined with chronic cholecystitis, it is recommended to consult a doctor in a timely manner for reasonable diagnosis and treatment.
