Patient: 15 days ago, I had abdominal distension, back pain, and urinary discomfort, and was diagnosed with gallstones, one 1.6CM and one 1.0CM. How to choose the treatment method? I saw on the Internet that there is a new medicine from the General Research Institute for Stone Diseases in China: wandering stone jindan and silver dan. Liu Shengli, Department of General Surgery, Zhongda Hospital, Southeast University: The efficacy of non-surgical treatment for gallbladder stones is very uncertain at present. There are no drugs that can dissolve gallbladder stones, and lithotripsy is not advisable because the outlet of gallbladder is usually only 3mm, and the outlet of common bile duct is even smaller. Lithotripsy methods are effective for urinary stones, but have little effect on gallbladder or bile duct stones. In fact, the current minimally invasive surgery for gallbladder stones is very effective and painful, so there is no need to be afraid. Now that people are living longer, gallbladder stone attacks can occur at any time in their life journey, so being more aggressive is good for your health and quality of life.
