Are multiple gallstones serious?

Multiple gallstones have a certain severity because they are one of the more difficult diseases to cure, and if they are not treated promptly and effectively, they are likely to cause complications in other areas. For example, in recurrent gallbladder infections, patients often experience abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other discomforts, which can be very torturous for patients as it can be repeated over and over again. The repeated friction of stones in the gallbladder increases the pressure in the gallbladder, and the corresponding blood supply capacity decreases so that bacteria can take advantage of the opportunity to enter and produce a large amount of toxins in the gallbladder wall, causing necrosis of the gallbladder wall, and in severe cases, even perforation or even peritonitis, causing great damage to patients’ lives. These small stones will continue to drain down into the duodenum, and some will get stuck at the end of the common bile duct causing edema at the end of the duct, and bile will reflux into the bile duct leading to secondary pancreatitis.
