Stones “coexist” with the body.

Cholelithiasis is a relatively common disease in the elderly, with clinical manifestations such as “gallbladder distension”, “dystocia” and “jaundice”. Gallbladder has the function of transporting and storing bile. Only when the liver qi is evacuated and the bile qi is lowered and drained can the bile flow smoothly to help the spleen and stomach to digest. According to the function of the organs of the elderly gradually decline, the characteristics of the surgical effect is poor, the use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, generally can go to the more ideal results. At present, the Chinese medicine treatment has the following methods: 1, dredge the liver and bile method: used in the bile and bile heat, drainage disorder caused by the right hypochondrium or wrist and abdominal service pain, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and pain to lead to the back, abdominal distension, constipation, anorexia and nausea, epigastric pressure pain and other symptoms. 2, regulating the liver and supporting the spleen method: used with liver stagnation and stagnation of qi, spleen and stomach disharmony caused by the two hypochondriac pain, abdominal distension and poor appetite (loss of appetite), loose stools and other symptoms. 3, clearing the liver and gallbladder dampness and heat method: use with dampness and heat in the liver and gallbladder, bile overflow skin caused by yellow eyes and body yellow, itching, right hypochondriac or epigastric pain, pain leading to the back, vomiting yellow water, constipation, epigastric refuses to press the symptoms, etc., the period of time to take the drug should be avoided overeating, banning easy to joke of meat and oil diet. The formation of bile system stones in the elderly, a short period of a few years, the long decades. Before the symptoms, the stones and the body long-term “peaceful coexistence”, life and work without obvious impact, some people call “asymptomatic stones”. When the body receives the body, dietary disorders, cold and temperature discomfort and other triggers, will make gallstone disease from the static phase to the active phase, resulting in a series of clinical symptoms. If the timely use of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, the disease can be restored to the stationary phase. Elderly people suffering from gallstone disease should limit the intake of high-fat, high-cholesterol diet, avoid the stimulation of adverse factors, and adhere to the traditional Chinese medicine treatment: the condition can be alleviated and surgery can be avoided. If the stones can be in a static state for a long time, it will not have a great impact on the health in the later years of life. Patients who have been treated surgically, in their later years, have symptoms such as right upper abdominal pain (or colic), fever, jaundice, abdominal distension, vomiting, and so on, which is called “postoperative gallbladder syndrome”. These patients can also be treated with each of the three methods mentioned above, depending on their condition.
