What medicine is good for bile duct stones?

Patients with bile duct stones generally do not take medication for treatment. If symptoms of bile duct stones occur, they are often symptoms of cholangitis. This is because bile duct stones often cause bile duct obstruction, which can lead to cholangitis.

The symptoms of cholangitis are often abdominal pain, which often occurs under the xiphoid process or in the right upper abdomen. It is mostly colic, with paroxysmal attacks or continuous pain with paroxysmal aggravation. It can radiate to the right shoulder or back, and is often accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In addition to abdominal pain, there will also be chills and high fever. This is obstruction caused by bile duct stones.

This leads to cholangitis, inflammation and edema of the bile duct mucosa, which causes bacteria and toxins to move retrogradely into the bile capillaries, into the hepatic sinusoids to the hepatic veins, and then into the systemic circulation, causing systemic infection. The patient's body temperature can be as high as 39 to 40 degrees. Some patients may develop jaundice after gallstones cause bile obstruction. The degree of jaundice is related to the degree of obstruction and whether the patient has infection. At this time, the patient will feel symptoms such as difficult urination and lighter stool color.

Patients often need further treatment after the development of bile duct stones. The treatments taken include non-surgical treatment and surgical treatment. Non-surgical treatment can also be used as preparation before surgery. Non-surgical treatment includes the use of antibiotics, antispasmodics, choleretics, correction of water and electrolyte balance, acid-base imbalance, enhanced nutritional therapy and vitamin supplementation, fasting, etc. Liver protection and correction of coagulation abnormalities are also required. Surgical treatment can be performed at a later date after the bile duct infection is controlled. If surgical treatment is not performed in time, cholangitis caused by bile duct stones will recur.

What foods should not be eaten if you have bile duct stones?

One of the main hazards of bile duct stones to our body is that it will block the bile duct. So under what circumstances will the bile duct be blocked? Are there any predisposing factors? In fact, it is very difficult for us to control clinically. So when we eat, we can only think about it. For example, eating greasy food may stimulate the contraction of the gallbladder and the secretion of bile, which may induce the obstruction. We may only consider it from this perspective and let patients eat less greasy and high-cholesterol foods when eating.

Well, we relatively recommend this kind of light diet, but even in this case, it does not mean that we can absolutely avoid the obstruction and cholangitis caused by bile duct stones. So if you have bile duct stones, on the basis of paying attention to your diet, more importantly, you should actively seek treatment. After early treatment, you don't have to control or avoid anything special in your diet.
