Why does cholecystitis hurt when I lie down and get up better?

The reason cholecystitis hurts better when you lie down and stand up is because lying down flat causes the gallbladder to be compressed. Lying down causes the gallbladder to protrude toward the abdominal wall, which can cause the gallbladder to touch the abdominal wall and cause more pain. The standing position allows the gallbladder to lean back and not touch the abdominal wall, which makes the gallbladder less likely to be compressed, so the pain is reduced. Gallbladder pain is mainly due to the acute attack of inflammation of the gallbladder, the gallbladder pain will be aggravated when it is compressed or touched, the point of the gallbladder on the surface of the body is located in the right side of the outer edge of the rectus abdominis muscle and the intersection of the ribcage arches, compression at this point will lead to gallbladder pain will be more serious. If diagnosed with cholecystitis, it is recommended to eat a light diet and standardize treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and the prognosis is generally better.
