Beware of gallstones misdiagnosed as stomach disease

  Gallstones, as a common disease of the biliary system, many people are not very clear about his symptom performance. According to the research, many gallstone patients say the most often when they visit the doctor is stomach pain. Why does it cause so many gallstone patients to mistake gallstones for stomach problems.  According to experts: many patients seen clinically, have a common feature is that gallstone pain is thought to be suffering from gastric disease, but the medicine has never improved, and some have lasted for months. Patients, however, are not aware that they have been suffering from gallstones, until the attack of the disease, the pain is unbearable will go to the hospital for consultation and treatment, only to find out that they are suffering from gallstones.  ”How to distinguish between stomach disease and gallstone pain?” I believe you will also ask such a question. In this regard, experts say, “From the point of view of human structure, the gallbladder is adjacent to the stomach and duodenum, so when the gallbladder has a disease and pain, it is easy to be taken as stomach pain. Then, compared with stomach pain, gallstone pain is usually pain in the right upper abdomen, and sometimes it can radiate to the right shoulder. Gallstone pain can be recurrent and sometimes last for decades. The pain is intermittent and dull and is located in the right upper abdomen. When stones obstruct the bile duct, the pain may radiate to the right shoulder and is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and fever.”  Unlike general stomach pain, which is usually relieved soon after taking medication, if once it appears for a long time, patients should consider the possibility of gallstones.
