stones, below. Proper treatment helps you, you need to consult the doctor in
person to rule out your doubts.
Gallstones – Gall Bladder Stones
The gallbladder contracts and pushes
the bile into a tube—called the common bile duct—that carries it to the small
intestine, where it helps with digestion.
Bile contains water, cholesterol,
fats, bile salts, proteins, and bilirubin—a waste product. Bile salts break up
fat, and bilirubin gives bile and stool a yellowish-brown color. If the liquid
bile contains too much cholesterol, bile salts, or bilirubin, it can harden
into gallstones.
Types of gallstones
1-Cholesterol
stones
2- Pigment
stones.
Cholesterol stones are usually
yellow-green and are made primarily of hardened cholesterol. Pigment stones are
small, dark stones made of bilirubin. Gallstones can be as small as a grain of
sand or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder can develop just one large
stone, hundreds of tiny stones, or a combination of the two.
Gallstones
can block the normal flow of bile if they move from the gallbladder and lodge in
any of the ducts that carry bile from the liver to the small intestine.
If
any of the bile ducts remain blocked for a significant period of time, severe
damage or infection can occur in the gallbladder, liver, or pancreas. Left
untreated, the condition can be fatal. Warning signs of a serious problem are
fever, jaundice, and persistent pain.
Causes for gallstones
Scientists
believe cholesterol stones form when bile contains too much cholesterol, too
much bilirubin, or not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not
empty completely or often enough. The reason these imbalances occur is not
known.
The
cause of pigment stones is not fully understood. The stones tend to develop in
people who have liver cirrhosis, Biliary tract infections, or hereditary blood
disorders—such as sickle cell anemia—in which the liver makes too much
bilirubin.
The
mere presence of gallstones may cause more gallstones to develop. Other factors
that contribute to the formation of gallstones, particularly cholesterol
stones, include
- Sex. Women are twice as likely
as men to develop gallstones. Excess estrogen from pregnancy, hormone
replacement therapy, and birth control pills appears to increase
cholesterol levels in bile and decrease gallbladder movement, which can
lead to gallstones.
·
Family history. Gallstones
often run in families, pointing to a possible genetic link.
·
Weight. A large clinical study showed that
being even moderately overweight increases the risk for developing
gallstones. The most likely reason is that the amount of bile salts in bile is
reduced, resulting in more cholesterol. Increased cholesterol reduces
gallbladder emptying. Obesity is a major risk factor for gallstones, especially
in women.
·
Diet. Diets high in fat and cholesterol
and low in fiber increase the risk of gallstones due to increased cholesterol
in the bile and reduced gallbladder emptying.
·
Rapid weight loss. As the body
metabolizes fat during prolonged fasting and rapid weight loss—such as “crash
diets”—the liver secretes extra cholesterol into bile, which can cause
gallstones. In addition, the gallbladder does not empty properly.
·
Age. People older than age 60 are more
likely to develop gallstones than younger people. As people age, the body tends
to secrete more cholesterol into bile.
- Ethnicity. American Indians have a
genetic predisposition to secrete high levels of cholesterol in bile. In
fact, they have the highest rate of gallstones in the United States. The
majority of American Indian men have gallstones by age 60. Among the Pima
Indians of Arizona, 70 percent of women have gallstones by age 30. Mexican
American men and women of all ages also have high rates of gallstones
·
Cholesterol-lowering drugs. Drugs that lower cholesterol levels in the blood actually increase the
amount of cholesterol secreted into bile. In turn, the risk of gallstones
increases.
- Diabetes. People with diabetes generally
have high levels of fatty acids called triglycerides. These fatty acids
may increase the risk of gallstones.
Symptoms of gallstones
- Steady pain in the right upper abdomen that
increases rapidly and lasts from 30 minutes to several hours
- Pain in the back between the shoulder blades
- Pain under the right shoulder. Notify your
doctor if you think you have experienced a gallbladder attack. Although
these attacks often pass as gallstones move, your gallbladder can become
infected and rupture if a blockage remains.
- People with any of the following symptoms
should see a doctor immediately:
- prolonged pain—more than 5 hours
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Fever—even low-grade—or chills
- Yellowish colour of the skin or whites of the
eyes
- Clay-colored stools
Many
people with gallstones have no symptoms; these gallstones are called “silent
stones.” They do not interfere with ggallbladder liver, or pancreas function
and do not need treatment.
Non surgical Treatment
Non
surgical approaches are used only in special situations—such as when a patient
has a serious medical condition needs surgery—and only for cholesterol stones.
Stones commonly recur within 5 years in patients treated non surgically.
Homoeopathic treatment
Symptomatic
Homoeopathic medicines works well for gall bladder stones.
