Are gallstones really serious?

  In recent times, many people have been rescued from serious complications caused by gallstones. These people actually know they have gallstones, and doctors have told them they need surgery, but they just can’t make up their minds, and some even go to eat various so-called “soup and medicine” for stone removal. As a result, they suffer from serious problems and may lose their lives.  Dear! If you have stones in your gallbladder, it’s really not a good idea to take those “stone removal” and “stone dissolving” soups!  The so-called disease from the mouth, the gallbladder long stones for many reasons, the main reason or diet and habits are problematic: 1, irregular diet, do not like to eat breakfast; 2, love to eat grease, meat; 3, hordes of food, snacks constantly, mouth happy, but the stomach suffered; 4, long-term when the night owl, but in the morning sleep to wake up naturally; 5, do not like to drink water, eat salty and so on.  Bile is mainly digestive juices, usually stored in the gallbladder, after eating something will be discharged into the intestines for digestion, it must also have a regular excretion, also need to rest ah. If the irregular diet, coupled with high blood lipids, the gallbladder is also very “tired” ah, a long time will certainly be a problem. So the root cause of gallstones is a problem with bile metabolism.  More than half of gallbladder stones are occult gallbladder stones (static gallstones), which can be detected during ultrasound examination without obvious symptoms for a long time. Most of them present with discomfort and mild pain in the right upper abdomen. Some people complain of vague pain or fullness in the heart, hiccups, poor digestion, inability to eat fatty food, and are treated as stomach problems for a long time. When the gallbladder becomes acutely inflamed, the pain is very severe, and the fever and warfare are so severe that they roll in pain when a stone gets stuck. Others have been misdiagnosed as having heart problems for a long time and treated as heart disease.  The inflammation and pain is better, and it may not be life-threatening at all. However, it is really tragic that a small problem has become a big problem when it causes the following conditions.  Gallbladder cancer: clinically, most of gallbladder cancers are combined with gallbladder stones, gallbladder stones, long time wear and tear, and long-term chronic inflammation of gallbladder, which may become cancerous after a long time, according to estimation, if live long enough, about 10% of gallbladder stones may become cancerous. Once the gallbladder becomes cancerous, especially if it is found late, the survival rate is less than 10% in one year.  2, gallbladder necrosis perforation, causing peritonitis, sepsis: last month there was an old lady, gallstones stuck in the gallbladder duct, came to the hospital has necrosis perforation, diffuse peritonitis, shock. Resuscitation for dozens of days, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, but finally did not rescue, or died. The children are very distressed, tears flowing, it is said that the discovery of gallstones for many years, but also often pain, always afraid of the old man to open surgery to suffer, the results regret.  3, severe septic cholangitis: gallstones can run inside the bile ducts, especially small rice-like stones, run into the bile ducts and then stuck, because the bile ducts are relatively thin, stuck with the infection, the bile ducts inside the pus, damage to the liver, the patient may soon occur jaundice, high fever, coma, shock, deterioration is quite fast, if you encounter this situation, promptly to the hospital. The previous time there was an old Chinese doctor who prescribed himself a stone draining soup at home, but the stone drained into the bile ducts and septic cholangitis occurred, and he was sent to the hospital unconscious and talking nonsense.  4, biliary pancreatitis: the most important cause of pancreatitis is gallstones. Because the opening of the pancreatic duct and the bile duct are in one place, gallstones can lead to pancreatitis when they get stuck. Repeated inflammation of the pancreas impairs the function of the pancreas and causes chronic pancreatic damage. The most fatal is necrotizing pancreatitis, which is so aggressive that individuals can die within an hour or two. Yesterday, an 80-year-old woman arrived at the hospital with pancreatic necrosis after less than 10 hours of pain. The emergency room opened her stomach and sucked out more than 2,000 kinds of fecal-like ascites, cleaned up the necrotic pancreas, removed the gallbladder, drained the T-tube, placed a gastrostomy and placed a jejunal nutrition tube, and placed nine drains and flushing tubes in her abdomen.  There are many other problems, such as liver abscess, gallstones can break the gallbladder and intestine and form endoleaks, gallstones can also cause malnutrition due to lack of food, gallstones can also cause heart disease (biliary heart disease), etc.  A single gallstone can cause so many problems, so don’t be careless!
