Gallstones: What Is It?

Tinyl crystal-like objects that form in the gallbladder are called gallstones. The gallbladder is located under the liver in our digestive system.

Gallstones : Causes

Gallstone formation, known as cholelithiasis, is primarily caused by an imbalance in the constituents of bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. This imbalance can lead to the crystallization of cholesterol or bilirubin, forming stones within the gallbladder. Common causes include a high intake of saturated fats and cholesterol-rich foods, obesity, rapid weight loss, hormonal influences (especially in women), and genetic predisposition. Additionally, underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, liver cirrhosis, and certain gastrointestinal disorders can contribute to the development of gallstones.

Symptoms of Gallstones

The gallstones symptoms may not be visible or noticeable at first. But if a gallstone blocks the bile duct, it can result in the following signs and symptoms: Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen Severe pain in the center of the abdomen, just below the breastbone Pain between the shoulder blades Pain in the right shoulder Nausea or vomiting The gallstones pain lasts several minutes to a few hours.

How to Diagnose Gallstones?

Imaging tests are commonly done to diagnose gallstones. Abdominal ultrasound: This is the most commonly used test to diagnose gallstones. A transducer device is moved back and forth across the stomach area. The signals received in a computer are created into images of the gallstones. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): In this procedure, a flexible and thin tube called an endoscope is passed through the mouth into the digestive tract. A transducer in the tube produces sound waves, which are then converted into images of the condition. Blood tests: Blood tests are also helpful in identifying infection, pancreatitis, jaundice, or other complications caused by gallstones. Imaging tests that can be done to detect gallstones also include Oral Cholecystography, Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP), and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP).

What Is the Treatment for Gallstones?

Your doctor may advise cholecystectomy because gallstones may keep coming back. Removal of the gallbladder does not affect one's life. The absence of a gallbladder is not fatal. Instead of keeping the bile in the gallbladder, the liver will release it directly into the small intestine. Gallstone medications: Some drugs effectively eliminate gallstones by dissolving them. It might take months or years for the dissolution to occur. Following the cessation of therapy, the gallstone can return.

When Will The Doctor Suggest Surgery?

When the gallbladder is severely affected, swollen and infected, the doctor will advise having gallstones surgically removed. Laparoscopic or laparoscopic cholecystectomy, open surgery, or open cholecystectomy are two popular gallstone surgery procedures.
