Postpartum right rib pain

If a woman experiences pain in the right rib after giving birth, she should be alert to the possibility of liver and gallbladder diseases. The most common ones are cholecystitis or gallstones, which may cause such symptoms. She should have a prompt check-up and strengthen her diet, especially avoid eating too greasy foods. She should also maintain an optimistic and cheerful attitude. Let's take a look at this aspect.

Postpartum right rib pain

Repeated attacks of cholecystitis may lead to chronic cholecystitis and may also be gallstones. It is recommended that you do a liver and gallbladder ultrasound examination on an empty stomach, pay attention to dietary regularity, avoid overeating, avoid high-fat foods, and eat less greasy food.

How to prevent cholecystitis

1. Regular diet

First of all, we should pay attention to having a regular daily diet, which is the best way to prevent gallstones. When we are not eating, the gallbladder is full of bile. The mucous membrane on the gallbladder absorbs water and makes the bile very thick. If the cholesterol is easy to form some large cheongsams at this time, the viscosity and concentration of the bile will increase, which will easily form bile sludge. If you start eating at this time, the food passes through the digestive system and when it reaches the gallbladder, it will stimulate the gallbladder to begin to contract, and the sticky bile and bile sludge are mixed together, which can prevent the occurrence of stones.

2. Moderate nutrition and appropriate restriction of fat and cholesterol content in diet

The formation of cholesterol stones is related to the high amount of cholesterol in bile. Eating too much, especially food with high fat and cholesterol, will increase the concentration of cholesterol in bile and promote the formation of cholesterol stones. In recent years, the living standards of the Chinese people have been greatly improved. People's diet has gradually changed from the previous "food and clothing" type to eating better and more refined food. The consumption of fish, meat, poultry, eggs and other foods is increasing year by year. However, with the improvement of living standards, some "rich diseases" caused by eating too well and too much have come about, such as obesity, coronary heart disease and gallstones. To prevent these "rich diseases", we must pay attention to moderate nutrition, and especially be careful not to consume too much cholesterol and animal fat. The so-called moderate nutrition means that certain restrictions should be placed on the quality and quantity of people's diet. The quality of the diet should provide a variety of nutrients in appropriate proportions, while the amount of food should be sufficient to maintain normal life activities of the human body. In addition, participating in appropriate physical labor and physical exercise can also help prevent overnutrition.

3. Ensure adequate protein intake

Protein is an essential nutrient for maintaining our health. According to research, long-term insufficient protein intake is related to the formation of bile pigment stones. Therefore, ensuring adequate protein in the diet will help prevent the occurrence of pigment stones.

4. Pay attention to hygiene and prevent intestinal roundworm infection

Developing good hygiene habits, washing hands before meals and after defecation, washing raw fruits and vegetables, and maintaining good environmental hygiene are effective measures to prevent ascariasis, and are therefore also helpful in preventing pigment stones.

5. Actively treat intestinal ascariasis and biliary ascariasis

After discovering intestinal ascariasis, you should take anthelmintics in time to prevent ascariasis from entering the bile duct. In case of biliary ascariasis, you should actively seek treatment to prevent the occurrence of pigment stones over time.
