Patients with gallbladder stones are not uncommon, and it is possible that you or someone in your family or friends has suffered from gallbladder stones. Although common, the onset of gallbladder stones can be difficult to diagnose, and the adverse consequences of untimely or misdiagnosis can be objective. Writing this short article today will help you understand gallbladder stones, understand the causes of gallbladder stone development, be alert to suspicious symptoms of gallbladder stones, and provide relief to patients with gallbladder stones. Many patients ask, “Why do I have gallbladder stones? This question is difficult to answer because there are many reasons for the formation of gallbladder stones, related to diet, environment, personal physical quality, genetics and many other factors, for example, some diseases such as liver cirrhosis may cause gallbladder stones; gallbladder stones are also related to genetic factors; surgical operations, especially vagus nerve selective excision, may also affect the gallbladder function; and seriously ill patients who are bedridden for a long time. Some studies point out that gallbladder stones are a disease related to aging, and the incidence increases with age, but now more and more young people are also detected with gallbladder stones, which may be related to stressful life or irregular life and diet. From the above, we can see that there are various causes of gallbladder stones, but patients do not need to dwell on this point, because regardless of the cause of gallbladder stones, there is no big difference in terms of treatment means and treatment effect. If gallbladder stones are suspected, more than 98% of patients can be diagnosed through routine ultrasound. If the stones are small and may be difficult to detect, repeated ultrasounds and careful examination are needed to improve the diagnostic accuracy. For patients with severe disease, a series of tests are needed, including routine blood, urine, liver function, biochemistry, and even MRI to see if the stones are combined with common bile duct stones, and CT to see if they are combined with pancreatitis or tumors. If gallbladder stones are suspected to enter the bile duct, MRCP can be done as an option.
