Why does cholecystitis cause indigestion?

Cholecystitis may cause dyspepsia due to decreased bile secretion, incomplete fat digestion, and weakened gallbladder contraction function. Specific analysis is as follows:

1. Reduced bile secretion The

gallbladder is an organ that stores and concentrates bile. Bile plays an important role in digestion. When inflammation occurs in the gallbladder, gallbladder function is impaired, and bile secretion may decrease, affecting digestion and absorption.

2. Incomplete fat digestion

Bile salts in bile can help digest and absorb fat. When cholecystitis causes decreased bile secretion, fat digestion will be affected, resulting in incomplete fat digestion, such as abdominal distension, steatosis, etc.

3. Reduced gallbladder contraction can

lead to weakened gallbladder contraction function. Under normal circumstances, after food enters the small intestine, the gallbladder will contract and release bile to help digest fat. However, when gallbladder contraction function is weakened, bile release may not be timely or insufficient, affecting food digestion.
