GALLBLADDER STONES MAY BE THE CAUSE OF SUDDEN PAINS

He underlines that gallstones can remain silent for a long time or appear with severe pain when we least expect it, and that stones can cause blockages and inflammation in the bile ducts.

Stones formed in the gallbladder, which has an important contribution to the digestive system of our body. can cause serious health problems. The gallbladder, where the bile secreted by the liver and which helps digest food is stored and concentrated, is located in the form of a sac on the underside of the liver. While the gallbladder concentrates bile, in some cases, precipitates (cholesterol crystals, pigment deposits) begin to form in the bile and gradually grow larger, causing gallstones.

Weight and Cholesterol Risk. It increases

There are many factors that lead to the formation of gallbladder stones. The most important of these factors are"Increased bile density, some blood diseases, bile duct obstructions, excess of some substances in the blood" > listed by Dr. Tolga Hüner states that the risk of stone formation increases as age, weight and cholesterol levels increase. Dr. Tolga Hüner points out that the risk increases especially in women (overweight, white-skinned, blonde and multiparous) and adds that family history is also an important factor. Dr. said that contrary to popular belief, food and drinks do not have a direct effect on gallstone formation. Tolga Hüner says: "But if you have stones in your gallbladder, some foods (especially eggs, fatty foods, legumes, alcohol) increase the likelihood of gallstones causing pain." Fatly Foods Start Attacks

Since the digestion of food is affected in people with gallbladder stones, some problems occur, especially when excreting fatty foods. These lies;

It appears as.

Dr. According to Tolga Hüner; Gallstones can often cause sudden symptoms called 'gallbladder attack'. These attacks are usually caused by consumed fatty foods. It occurs after meals and can occur during sleep at night. Dr. Tolga Hüner explains what happens in a typical attack as follows: "Continuous and severe pain that occurs suddenly in the upper part of the abdomen, sometimes lasting half an hour and sometimes hours. Nausea or vomiting may cause pain radiating to the back, middle part or under the right shoulder blade." Especially people with complaints such as sweating, chills, fever, jaundice should immediately consult a doctor."

There Are Also Silent Ones

Some people with gallbladder stones do not have any symptoms. These people are called 'asymptomatic'and their gallstones are called'silent gallstones'. While these stones may remain silent for many years without any obvious complaints, they may cause serious health problems at unexpected moments. Today, the diagnosis of gallstones is most easily made by ultrasonography. Gallstones can stop normal bile flow by blocking any of the channels that carry bile to the small intestines. Dr. states that bile that accumulates in these channels and cannot flow can cause inflammation in the gallbladder, ducts or rarely in the liver. Tolga Hüner continues his words as follows: "If any of the channels remain blocked for a long time, very serious and sometimes fatal damage may occur that will affect the gallbladder, liver and pancreas. Therefore, it is necessary not to waste time to consult a doctor as soon as complaints begin."

Gallbladder is Removed

In the surgical treatment of gallstones, the surgical removal of the gallbladder, that is, 'cholecystectomy'is performed. In the procedure, which can be performed with two types of surgery: open and closed, since the gallbladder is removed, both the stones and the possibility of stone formation again are eliminated. In open cholecystectomy, the gallbladder is removed by entering the abdominal cavity through a surgical incision made in the abdominal wall under general anesthesia. Dr. states that there is no need to make a large incision in the abdominal wall in closed cholecystectomy, or as it is medically known, 'laparoscopic cholecystectomy'. Tolga Hüner,"The entire surgery is performed laparoscopically, that is, through 3 or 5 tiny holes. It is carried out by monitoring with the help of instruments inserted into the stomach and a camera. "Although this procedure is performed under general anesthesia, since there is no large incision in the abdominal wall, the person's recovery and discharge are much faster," he says. People who have had their gallbladder removed can continue their lives normally.
