• #3 Cholecystitis (Gallbladder Inflammation): Symptoms & Treatment

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/15265-gallbladder-swelling–inflammation-cholecystitis

  Cholecystitis is inflammation in your gallbladder, an organ in your upper right abdomen. Your gallbladder stores and distributes bile through your bile ducts. When a gallstone gets stuck in your bile duct, it can cause bile to back up into your gallbladder. This can cause swelling, pain and other complications. […] Cholecystitis is treated immediately in the hospital. Treatment begins with supportive care, including: Intravenous (IV) fluids while your digestive system rests. IV antibiotics to treat or prevent infections. IV pain relief, which most people need. […] The definitive treatment for cholecystitis is surgery to remove your gallbladder. Most causes of cholecystitis, including gallstones, originate in your gallbladder itself. […] To prevent the effects of repeat episodes of gallbladder inflammation, healthcare providers recommend surgery to remove your gallbladder (cholecystectomy). This is a common, minor procedure with minimal side effects. Most people can have it done by minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery.

[…] Patients will report nausea and vomiting, but those are pretty general symptoms, right? […] So when were doing our initial assessment, we have to do a full detailed pain assessment.
