Does cholecystitis cause yellow urine?

We know that patients with cholecystitis will suffer from jaundice and many patients also have yellow eyes. If we are facing a patient with cholecystitis, we can easily judge by the color of his eyes. In fact, cholecystitis has many other symptoms. We can identify patients with cholecystitis through careful observation. If you have related symptoms, you should pay attention. So, does cholecystitis cause urine to turn yellow?

1. Common symptoms of cholecystitis

1. If the patient suffers from acute cholecystitis, the onset of this disease is relatively rapid. The patient often suddenly develops the disease after dinner or in the middle of the night. This situation is mainly due to the enhanced contraction of the gallbladder caused by high-fat food, and when the patient lies flat, it is easy for small gallstones to slide smoothly and become embedded in the gallbladder duct. At this time, the patient will suddenly experience symptoms of right upper abdominal pain. This pain can be continuous or paroxysmal, and after the pain gradually radiates to the right shoulder and back, the patient is often accompanied by symptoms of nausea, vomiting and fever, but chills are relatively rare. During the examination, it will be found that the patient's right upper abdomen is relatively full, and the abdominal muscles in the gallbladder area are also very tense, accompanied by obvious tenderness or rebound pain.

2. However, if the patient suffers from chronic cholecystitis, the symptoms and signs he/she presents are not particularly typical. Most of these symptoms are due to bile-related indigestion. For example, the patient feels that he/she has a poor appetite, is averse to greasy food, and often has a feeling of stuffiness, belching, and burning sensation in the upper abdomen. These symptoms are very similar to ulcer disease or chronic appendicitis. Sometimes, due to stones blocking the gallbladder duct, it can cause acute attacks, but when the stones move or are removed, the symptoms will quickly improve. However, during the examination, it can be found that the patient has mild tenderness or percussion pain in the gallbladder area; if there is water accumulation in the gallbladder, the patient will also have a round cystic mass in the gallbladder area.

2. How to treat cholecystitis

1. Daily life and diet

After suffering from cholecystitis, patients should begin to pay more attention to their eating habits and dietary hygiene. Not only should we choose clean and hygienic food to prevent the occurrence of biliary parasites, but we should also maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as eating breakfast every day. Because skipping breakfast will promote the secretion of bile and aggravate the malignant development of cholecystitis. In addition, in terms of diet, patients should choose a low-fat diet to reduce the secretion of bile. Eat more fresh vegetables and fruits that contain a lot of fiber, keep your bowels open, etc.

2. Drug treatment

For acute cholecystitis, patients can choose antispasmodic and analgesic drugs, such as aspirin. Antibiotics can be used to prevent bacteremia and suppurative diseases caused by parasites in the bile. In addition, oral choleretic drugs such as 50% magnesium sulfate can also help improve cholecystitis. For chronic cholecystitis, patients can choose to take oral choleretics and anthelmintics as well as lithotripsy to dissolve the stones in the gallbladder to promote their excretion. In addition to Western medicine treatment, patients can also choose to take some anti-inflammatory, choleretic and analgesic Chinese patent medicines orally to help with treatment. Such as Jindan tablets, Qinggan Lidan oral liquid, etc.

3. Surgical treatment

If you want to cure cholecystitis fundamentally, the preferred method is still surgical removal of the gallbladder. But in general, if there is no indication for surgery, doctors will rarely recommend gallbladder removal. Therefore, in the absence of surgical indications, patients can adopt the above two methods for conservative treatment, because not everyone can tolerate surgery.
