Explanation

"Very mild chronic cholecystitis" refers to a condition where the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver that helps with digestion, is slightly inflamed over a long period of time. This inflammation is usually caused by gallstones blocking the tube leading out of the gallbladder. This blockage can cause bile to remain in the gallbladder, leading to irritation and inflammation. When this happens repeatedly over time, it's called chronic cholecystitis.
