Do gallstones grow fast?

There are many patients with gallstones in life. Gallstones are a very serious disease when they occur, and most patients with gallstones will feel pain. They also need to pay strict attention to their diet, because after getting gallstones, they cannot eat many greasy and high-fat foods. Eating such foods will aggravate the patient's condition. So do gallstones grow fast?

1. The patient's upper abdominal pain. Most patients with gallstones will experience abdominal or right upper abdominal pain after eating, especially after eating greasy and high-fat foods. The pain will then radiate to the back and be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Many times, they think it is a stomach problem.

2. When stones repeatedly rub against the inner wall of the gallbladder and cause cholecystitis, there will be symptoms of fever, shivering, and cold sweats, especially in purulent cholecystitis, fever is the most common. Then the sclera of the eye will turn yellow, just like jaundice. These are symptoms caused by gallstones and cholecystitis.

3. Of course, some patients do not have these long-term pains and obvious external symptoms in the early stage. However, if they have fever for no reason and occasional abdominal pain, they should pay attention to gallstones. This hidden danger is greater and once it occurs, it is very dangerous.

At present, the treatment of gallstones is not difficult, there are few complications, and recovery is relatively fast. The key is to discover it early. Never let the gallbladder atrophy, function decline, or even cause more serious consequences due to failure to discover it in time.
