Gallbladder stones are not a minor disease

  Gallbladder stones are common and 10% of the general population may suffer from this condition. Some have pain that affects their lives significantly, some have occasional pain and discomfort, and some have no symptoms at all. In my clinical work, patients often ask such questions, so I would like to talk about them here. First of all, patients are not clear about the relationship between gallbladder and bile, as gallbladder does not produce bile, but bile is continuously secreted from the liver to the intestine to digest food. Therefore, removing the gallbladder is not good to cause no bile or indigestion. Once there is a stone in the gallbladder, it means that there is a disease in the gallbladder. Usually there is a problem with the composition of bile in the gallbladder, and most of the time there is a chronic bacterial infection in the gallbladder that causes gallbladder stones.  Secondly, gallbladder stone is a small disease, but it can become a “big disease” and a “deadly” disease. If the stone does not come out inside the gallbladder, it is at most painful and can be considered a minor disease, but if it falls into the bile duct, it turns from a simple disease into two diseases, the patient may develop fever and jaundice, and in severe cases, shock can occur, especially in the elderly, and if the gallbladder stone induces acute pancreatitis, it is really fatal.  So if you have gallbladder stones patients or friends, especially the elderly, patients with heart disease must go to the hospital early to let the doctor see how to solve.
