Some cases of cholecystitis can be cured by taking traditional Chinese medicines, while some cases of cholecystitis may recur even with the application of traditional Chinese medicines, and ultimately require surgical treatment, which is mainly determined by the cause of cholecystitis. At present, the clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine includes both tonics and proprietary Chinese medicines, the latter is more widely used in the clinic, including anti-inflammatory cholecystolithiasis tablets, shu bile tablets, etc. However, for stone cholecystitis, there is a need for surgery. However, for stone cholecystitis, especially if the gallbladder is full of stones or filled with stones, or if gallbladder atrophy has already occurred, then even if you take traditional Chinese medicines, they can’t eliminate the stones in the gallbladder, and can’t restore the normal shape and structure of the gallbladder, so the symptoms of cholecystitis will still recur. For this type of cholecystitis, surgical treatment should be considered in time, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the first choice. Although the treatment of simple cholecystitis with traditional Chinese medicine may lead to better clinical results, attention should be paid to dietary patterns and reasonable dietary structure to avoid recurrent symptoms.
