How long does gallbladder pain usually last?

Gallbladder pain is mainly due to acute and chronic gallbladder inflammation or stones embedded in the cystic duct and common bile duct. The duration of gallbladder pain varies from person to person and is closely related to its cause: 1) for acute cholecystitis, the pain is severe and can last from half an hour to several hours, or even several days if the inflammation is severe, depending on the treatment effect and recovery; 2) for chronic cholecystitis, the pain is intermittent and relatively long; 3) for cholelithiasis, it depends on the specific location of the stone. If it causes impaction, the pain can be longer, if the impaction can be released, the pain can be effectively relieved, the duration depends on the time and degree of stone impaction.
