Causes and symptoms of gallbladder stones

The causes of gallbladder stones include excess cholesterol, bile pigment and decreased gallbladder power. Clinical symptoms include pain, jaundice, dyspepsia, etc. Some patients are also asymptomatic. 1. Causes: The cause of this disease is mainly related to the excessive content of cholesterol and bile pigments in the bile, such as bile salts, lecithin, glycoproteins and other components. Secondly, there may also be a decrease in gallbladder power, causing bile stagnation and subsequently increasing the likelihood of gallbladder stone formation. Common risk factors include obesity, high-fat diet, and family history of gallbladder stones. 2. Symptoms: Most patients with gallbladder stones have no clinical symptoms and are only found during physical examination; for some patients with clinical symptoms, they often experience pain, which can be manifested as colicky or spasmodic pain in the right upper abdomen or epigastric region, and the pain can be radiated to the back of the right shoulder. At the same time, the patient will also have abdominal distension, belching, eructation and other signs of indigestion. When the patient has the above symptoms, it is necessary to be highly vigilant that it is gallbladder stones. They should go to the hospital as soon as possible to improve the examination and clarify the cause of the disease.
