What are gallbladder stones?
Gallbladder stones are “stones” that grow inside the gallbladder.
However, there are three types of stones.
Cholesterol: hard, usually yellow
Bile pigment: loose, usually black
Mixed: black and yellow, hard and loose.
70% of them are cholesterol ones, which means most of them are hard and rocky!!!
In our country, 2.3-6.5% of people have gallbladder stones.
And
The older you are, the more likely you are to have them
The older you are, the more likely you are to have them
After the age of 50, the more likely you are to have them.
And
Most people, don’t have any discomfort
You, can’t even feel them!
So if you have a stone in your gallbladder, it’s not a jackpot or bad luck, there are many people, just like you, who have “gems”!
So, should we get rid of these stones?
Second, is it necessary to cure?
The answer is: not necessarily.
Because most gallbladder stones do not make you feel uncomfortable.
Because most gallbladder stones are due to eating wrong and moving less.
So, if you are not uncomfortable
then most of these gallbladder stones do not need to be treated
What is needed, may be only.
1. clarify the type of stone (CT.) ;.
2. to know the changes of the stone (ultrasound…) .
So, which gallbladder stones are the ones that need to be treated?
What is the right treatment?
3. What is the right treatment?
Although they are both called “stones”, gallbladder stones are different from other stones (kidney stones…). are not the same
If they need to be treated, the treatment method is also different~~~
These are the right ones.
If there is no discomfort, generally do not need to treat, regular review can be; if there is no discomfort, but the following risks need to consider open surgery.
1, a stone, more than 3 cm in diameter.
2. multiple stones, which can easily fall inside the bile duct.
3, having diabetes.
4, with a family history of gallbladder stones, over 50 years of age and with diabetes mellitus.
5, porcelain gallbladder, adenomyosis of the gallbladder.
6, cannot exclude gallbladder cancer, and yellow granulomatous cholecystitis.
If there is stomach pain and discomfort, surgery may be considered.
If there is stomach pain and discomfort and cannot be operated on.
1.release spasm and deny pain (such as pivetonium bromide.)
2, biliary excretion, promote digestion (such as fenugreek trisulfide as well as biliary nimble tablets and other clear Chinese medicines.)
3, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, empirical treatment
4, if the ultrasound tells you that the gallbladder function is normal, CT tells you that it is cholesterol stones, then you can dissolve the stones (such as ursodeoxycholic acid)
But.
These are wrong.
1, with stones, go to open surgery, after all, the gallbladder is also a useful thing, to be cautious.
2, extracorporeal lithotripsy, discharge the stone, the stone fell into the bile duct to develop pancreatitis, more terrible.
3, the so-called, stone discharge, stone crushing, looks beautiful, in fact, the consequences are very serious.
Summarize.
1, gallbladder stones into three kinds, most of them are not uncomfortable.
2, not all of them should be treated, most of them are to be reviewed regularly.
3, to cure or not to see clearly, must not choose the wrong method.
4, lithotripsy and stone removal is not right, must not be fooled by the deception
