Where gallstones can cause pain

Gallstones are a relatively common disease in life. If there is an acute attack of inflammation, patients may have symptoms such as pain in the right upper abdomen, the right shoulder and back, the whole abdomen, or pain in the precordial region. In daily life, in addition to following medical advice, patients should control the development of the disease by adjusting their lifestyle. 1. pain in the right upper abdomen: gallstones are divided into gallbladder stones, intrahepatic bile duct stones, and extrahepatic bile duct stones, and because the body surface localization point is in the right upper abdomen, the pain caused by inflammation is mainly in the right upper abdomen, but some patients show epigastric pain. 2. pain in the right shoulder and back: sometimes the pain may radiate to the right shoulder back, because the painful nerve of the stone, the somatic nerve of the right shoulder back, and the visceral nerve of the gallbladder converge into the same spinal cord segment, thus causing sensory pain in the corresponding area; 3. It is called biliary heart syndrome. The precordial pain mainly occurs after the onset of gallstones, because the thoracic spinal nerves are involved in the crossover and lead to precordial pain. Patients who have frequent episodes of pain need to be treated with surgery as soon as possible. In addition, in daily life, patients should eat regularly, avoid overeating, and avoid greasy food to avoid aggravation of symptoms.
