Gallbladder stones are very common, not a difficult disease, do not be nervous Gallbladder stones are a common disease, every ten people have 1 to 2 people have gallbladder stones, only China has about 100 million people “gallbladder stone allies”. It is also an ancient disease. A large number of gallbladder stones were found in the body of Mrs. Xin Chou, who was buried in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha. Human beings have been communicating with gallbladder stones for thousands of years, and now there are very standardized methods of evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and judging prognosis; it is not a difficult disease, so people should not be nervous. Through in-depth understanding of it and medical consultation, the problem can be well solved. Why do you get gallbladder stones, there are many reasons, do not get entangled The main role of the gallbladder in the human body is to store concentrated bile and discharge bile to help digestion. Normally, the bile secreted by the liver exists in the gallbladder and is then drained through the ducts into the intestinal lumen to help digest food, especially fatty foods, when you eat. The mechanism for forming gallbladder stones is complex, and many causes lead to the formation of gallbladder stones. For example, eating high-fat food for a long time leads to the saturation and precipitation of a fat component called “cholesterol” in the bile to form stones; biliary tract infections, inflammation of the gallbladder, biliary roundworms, etc., can lead to the formation of stones; pregnancy, age and irregular diet often lead to a decrease in the function of the gallbladder and bile stagnation and the formation of gallbladder stones. People should not be overly obsessed, sometimes it may be difficult to find out the exact cause by yourself. Sometimes a family with the same lifestyle, some normal, some will find gallbladder stones. For example, some abnormal gallbladders grow like a gourd or have an elongated and narrow outlet, which interferes with the normal function of the gallbladder and makes it easy for stones to form, but this can only be confirmed after surgical removal. Consult your surgeon if you need surgical treatment. We often hear or see that patients with gallbladder stones have undergone surgical treatment with cholecystectomy. So do my stones need surgery? Generally, if accompanied by obvious biliary colic and cholecystitis manifestations, this is by will need to consider surgical treatment. For example, spasmodic pain in the epigastrium induced by a fatty diet, radiating to the right shoulder and back, sometimes accompanied by fever and yellowing of the eyes, then it is necessary to go to the general surgery, hepatobiliary surgery or emergency surgery as soon as possible in order to prevent serious consequences. If there are only gallbladder stones without any uncomfortable symptoms, there is no urgent need for cholecystectomy surgery. However, for patients who usually do not have any symptoms or do not have the typical abdominal pain manifestations described above, the situation is more complicated and it is still recommended that you have time to visit a general surgery, hepatobiliary surgery or specialist clinic to seek professional help in making a treatment decision. For example, patients with particularly large stones, gallbladder polyps, gallbladder wall hardening like porcelain tiles, or diabetes mellitus also need to undergo surgical procedures. How to Remove Gallbladder Surgery without Painful Process and Serious Consequences Gallbladder removal surgery not only removes the diseased gallbladder, which can prevent the attack of cholangitis and pancreatitis which are life-threatening acute illnesses caused by stones, but also prevents and detects the cancer of gallbladder at an early stage. With the development of minimally invasive surgical techniques and the concept of rapid recovery surgery, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is often referred to as “perforation of the abdominal wall” surgery, has become the “gold standard” of treatment. The results, safety, and experience of laparoscopic cholecystectomy have been very favorable, with patients experiencing minimal pain during the procedure and being able to return to their normal lives within a few days. But after all, the surgery is risky and requires the patient to be in full communication with their doctor and take it seriously. Current studies have found that removing the diseased gallbladder does not have serious consequences, with a low complication rate, and the benefits outweigh the risks. The vast majority of doctors have now reached a consensus and do not recommend lithotripsy for gallbladder stones. For some special cases that require lithotripsy, it must be done under the guidance of a medical professional. If you want to retain the gallbladder to remove stones, you need to choose carefully, not blindly Whether the patient is suitable to receive surgical treatment to retain the gallbladder to remove stones, you must go to a professional medical institution for consultation, careful treatment and choice. Because of the complexity of the factors involved in the formation of gallbladder stones, it is very likely that gallbladder stones will recur after the preservation of the gallbladder, and there is also the risk of malignant transformation of the gallbladder, secondary surgery, and so on. Cholecystectomy has been recognized as the definitive treatment for gallbladder stones. For patients with a well-functioning gallbladder, it is possible that the formation of gallbladder stones is due to problems with the bile or other incidental factors, and it is possible that some benefit may be gained by bile-sparing surgery to remove the stones. However, this issue is complex, and there is a lack of more and better evidence to definitively determine the costs, benefits, and safety of bile preservation and stone removal surgery. If a patient has a strong need for gallbladder preservation, he or she should listen to both sides of the issue, consider the whole picture, not be blind, not be biased, and carry out scientific research on biliary stone-preservation surgery with full communication with his or her doctor. The discovery of gallbladder stones on physical examination is both nerve-wracking and a good thing. Careful management and timely treatment of the disease can prevent serious situations from occurring and better preserve our health and protect our lives. If you change your bad lifestyle such as irregular diet and uncontrolled high-fat diet from the journey of others who have been sick and cured of the disease, not only may you be able to prevent gallbladder stones from occurring to some extent, but it will also give you a healthier and more joyful life.
