”Take medicine to dissolve gallstones? This is a total lie!” Yesterday, the national well-known veteran Chinese medicine professor Zhang Zhenru straight out of gallstones treatment misconceptions. It is understood that the incidence of gallstones in China is 8% to 10%. Many people are suffering from gallstones pain. Many medical institutions see this business opportunity, have played the “lithotripsy” card. Professor Zhang pointed out that the formation of gallstones is still a mystery to the medical community, “lithotripsy” is still in the research stage. At present, eating a certain drug can dissolve gallstones is not possible. Moreover, most of the gallstones in China are of mixed type. Compared with simple cholesterol stones, which are more common in Westerners, mixed gallstones are more complex in structure and more difficult to be dissolved. Nowadays, “lithotripsy” is also over-exaggerated. Professor Zhang pointed out that “stone removal” is not suitable for everyone. According to human anatomy, the internal diameter of the gallbladder outlet is only 0.5 cm, which means that only small sediment-like gallstones can be discharged, and if the diameter of the stones is larger than 0.5 cm, the stones should be broken first. In addition, “stone removal treatment” also has strict requirements on the patient’s physical condition, only patients with a smooth biliary system and good contraction function can be successfully removed.
