During the May Day holiday, all kinds of gatherings and dinners will also appear. Ms. Liang, 34, who lives in Qingshan District, Wuhan City, was diagnosed with gallstones two years ago, but she has been delaying treatment because she is afraid of surgery. Last weekend, after a dinner party with friends, I suddenly had unbearable abdominal pain, and at first I thought it was a bad stomach. But after resting, her condition did not relieve, and she came to the Yangchunhu Campus of Wuhan Central Hospital in desperation.
Xing Hongsong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Yangchunhu Branch of Wuhan Central Hospital, said: After she arrived at the emergency department, she did a CT scan and found that it was gallbladder stones and cholecystitis, and there were almost forty or fifty stones.
Through examination, the doctor confirmed that the diagnosis was acute cholecystitis caused by gallstones, and Ms. Liang was subsequently transferred to the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery for hospitalization. The team of hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgeons performed laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery for him and her, and successfully removed the diseased gallbladder. Currently, Ms. Leung is recovering well. According to the doctor, the number of patients with gallstones will increase during or after the holidays, which is mainly related to irregular diet, overeating, and eating too much greasy food during the holidays.
Xing Hongsong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Yangchunhu Branch of Wuhan Central Hospital, said: Most of the patients with gallstones will not have any symptoms, these patients are because they eat high-fat food, which stimulates the gallbladder to contract, and after the gallbladder contractions, the stones will be displaced, and when the gallbladder moves from the bottom of the gallbladder to the neck of the gallbladder or the cystic duct is stuck, the bile cannot be discharged, and the gallbladder contracts violently, and the pain is very intense at this time.
The doctor reminded that when gallstones are acutely attacked, they can cause severe pain in the right upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and even high fever, chills, jaundice, etc. Some patients mistakenly think that they have stomach problems or eat bad stomach, and if not treated in time, they are prone to gallbladder gangrene and perforation, and even life-threatening.
Xing Hongsong, deputy chief physician of the Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery of Yangchunhu Branch of Wuhan Central Hospital, reminded everyone: This holiday, especially patients with gallstones, they must pay special attention to their diet and do not eat fried foods with big oil, meat and oil, so as to avoid the acute attack of cholecystitis as much as possible.
