What is the best treatment for gallstones?

  Gallbladder stones are diseases caused by the stones that occur in the gallbladder. With the improvement of living standard, change of diet and hygiene, gallstone disease in China has gradually changed from mainly bile pigment stones in the bile ducts to mainly cholesterol stones in the gallbladder. With the increase of this disease, people are also more and more concerned about some of the best treatments for gallstones.  Minimally invasive bile stone extraction is the best treatment available in Western medicine. This procedure can preserve the gallbladder, but most patients, who may not be doctors, do not realize that there are many types of gallstones: cholesterol gallstones, sediment-like gallstones, bile pigment gallstones and mixed gallstones. Most of the stones are soft, not as hard as kidney stones, and some stones such as sediment-like gallstones are finely ground, so the method of biliary stone retrieval usually cannot remove the stones completely, and the stones will recur later with the habit of life and diet and the growth of time.  Oral lithotripsy: The main mechanism of gallbladder stone formation is the change of bile physicochemical composition, the narrowing of bile acid pool and the increase of cholesterol concentration. Experimentally, it was found that after oral administration of goose deoxycholic acid, the bile acid pool can be enlarged and the secretion of cholesterol by the liver can be reduced, so that the cholesterol in the bile of the gallbladder can be changed to a non-saturated state. This drug has certain toxic reactions on the liver such as elevated glutamate transaminase and can stimulate the colon and cause diarrhea.
