1.Where does the bile in the gallbladder come from? What does it do? How are gallstones formed? The gallbladder is a pouch-like organ attached to the underside of the liver that stores a portion of the bile secreted by the liver and concentrates it. Bile is produced by liver cells and drained into the intestines through the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts to help digest food. There are many components in bile, such as cholesterol, phospholipids, bile pigments, bile acids, etc., which are normally dissolved, just like sugar or salt dissolved in water. Once the metabolic system is abnormal and the balance is disrupted, some of them will form crystals, then grow further and become clumps, stay or block in the biliary system, affecting the flow of bile and slowly forming stones. 2.What are the dangers of gallstones? What are the dangers of gallbladder stones? Gallstones can cause biliary colic, epigastric pain and bloating, indigestion, but the greater danger is to cause jaundice, bile duct suppuration, pancreatic inflammation, and even death. Gallstones can also cause cancer if they irritate the gallbladder wall for a long time. If stones are blocked in the jugular abdomen or the bile duct, high pressure will be generated in the gallbladder and the blood supply to the gallbladder wall will be reduced or stopped, bacteria will easily enter and produce a lot of toxins, causing necrosis of the gallbladder wall or even perforation; some can break into the intestinal cavity, some small stones or bile sludge can be drained by the gallbladder to the common bile duct, causing obstruction of the common bile duct and jaundice; some stones are in the lower end of the common bile duct for a long time to stimulate the lower end In some cases, the lower end of the common bile duct may become narrowed and the special structure like a door may be destroyed, causing septic cholangitis, which is much more serious. Therefore, if you have gallbladder stones, you should treat them as early as possible, don’t get lucky. 3.Why do gallstones cause yellow eyes, chills and fever? Bile is produced by the liver and enters the intestine through the bile duct. The bile duct is like a tree, the intrahepatic bile duct is like a branch, the common bile duct is like a trunk, and bile converges from the branch into the left and right branches of the bile duct and finally discharges into the intestine. If there is an obstruction in the trunk, the bile produced by the liver cannot be discharged and flows backwards into the bloodstream, where the bilirubin in the bile settles in the eyes and skin, manifesting itself as yellow sclera and skin staining, which is called jaundice. With stones in the bile duct causing poor bile flow, intestinal bacteria will easily enter and multiply, producing toxins, and the body will react with chills and fever. 4.Is it necessary to treat gallstones? Strictly speaking, as long as there are stones, they should be treated, because there should not be stones in the normal biliary system. Some gallstones are inevitably causing different degrees of harm to the human body, some of which are in the early stages and have no obvious manifestations, while others have developed to the point where they must be treated.
