Gallstones: What Is It?

The gallbladder is located right below the liver. In some people, the gallbladder produces gallstones, which are small crystal-like objects. The gallstone can range in size from the size of a grain to that of a golf ball. Additionally, although some people have only one gallstone, others have several. Bile juice, a liver-secreted fluid that aids digestion, is stored in the gallbladder. The bile then flows into the small intestine through the bile duct. Extreme discomfort occurs when these gallstones obstruct the bile duct and prevent the disease's flow. Gallstone surgery is used to treat gallstones.

Gallstones : Causes

Many reasons lead to the formation of gallstones in the gallbladder. These include excess cholesterol or bilirubin in the bile juice stored in the gallbladder.

How to Diagnose Gallstones?

Gallstones can be diagnosed by certain specific tests and procedures. The two most common ones are: 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, an endoscope is inserted into the digestive tract from the mouth. A transducer in the tube produces sound waves, which are then converted into images of the condition. In addition to these, there are also certain other imaging tests which include Oral Cholecystography, Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP), and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP). Sometimes, blood tests are also done to identify infection,gallstone jaundice, gallstone pancreatitis, or other complications caused by gallstones.

What Is the Treatment for Gallstones?

Gallbladder surgery: Your doctor could suggest a cholecystectomy because the gallstones could return. Life after gallbladder removal is unaffected, the process is not life-threatening. The liver will discharge the bile directly into the small intestine rather than retaining it in the gallbladder. Gallstone medications: Some medications dissolve gallstones to help remove them. The dissolution might take months or years to happen. The gallstone may recur once the treatment is stopped.

When Will The Doctor Suggest Surgery?

The doctor will recommend gallstone or gallbladder surgery when the gallbladder is severely swollen or infected. Two types of surgeries are commonly performed. These are laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) and open surgery (open cholecystectomy).
