How to eliminate gallstones?

Gallstones are a disease that many people are prone to. There are many reasons for its occurrence, but it is directly related to people’s daily habits, lifestyle and diet. When gallstones appear, they must be treated promptly. Only after the gallstones are expelled can the body's health be restored. As for the problem of how to eliminate stones, we can take medication or surgical treatment. The following is a detailed introduction to the treatment methods of gallstones.

1. Treatment methods

1. Medication

Drinking Defu Yuxuantong tea can dissolve stones and promote stone excretion. It has the effect of protecting kidney function, repairing damage, and changing the body environment and urine properties.

2. Surgical treatment

Direct surgical removal of the gallbladder can quickly eradicate the lesion. However, surgery has certain indications and is not suitable for all patients. Moreover, traditional open surgery causes great damage to the human body and requires a long period of hospitalization to recover, affecting work and life.

3. Gravel

No hospitalization is required and the damage is small, but due to the special position and structure of the gallbladder, the stones are not easy to locate. Even if the stones are broken, they are difficult to expel, and the frequency of abdominal pain will increase. What's worse, it may cause common bile duct stones.

2. Hazards

1. Low-grade fever, even jaundice

Gallstones may be asymptomatic for a long time or for life, and they do not cause much harm to the human body. However, once gallstones occur, they will cause upper abdominal pain that radiates to the shoulders and back, accompanied by low fever, nausea, vomiting, chills, profuse sweating, and even jaundice, which will have a serious impact on the patient's normal work and long-term life.

2. Cause other complications

After suffering from gallstones, other complications will occur. After suffering from gallstones, the mechanical stimulation of gallstones often leads to bacterial infection and causes inflammation of the bile duct. The inflammation often recurs and is difficult to heal. Cholelithiasis can also cause many complications, such as arrhythmia, septic shock, liver abscess, bile duct bleeding, liver failure and hepatorenal syndrome.

3. Duodenum or gallbladder colon

Gallstones can also cause duodenum or gallbladder colon and seriously endanger your health. At the same time, gallstones are also one of the important pathogenic factors of gallbladder cancer. Most patients with gallbladder cancer have a history of gallstones. Some small stones fall into the common bile duct and are discharged into the duodenum. Each time they fall into the common bile duct, they can damage the hepatopancreatic ampulla sphincter at the end of the common bile duct. If this happens repeatedly, it will cause stenosis of the end of the common bile duct, followed by common bile duct stones and gallstones in the pancreatitis. Some large stones may impact and compress the gallbladder and its adjacent organs, causing biliary fistulas. Gallstones may also lead to gallbladder carbuncle or perforation, causing peritonitis and endangering life.
