How to remove gallbladder stone without operation

The gallbladder: what is it?

What is gallbladder stone?

Bile, a substance that aids in fat digestion, is stored in the gallbladder, a little organ beneath the liver.

Types of gallbladder stone

1.   Cholesterol stone- The most prevalent type, cholesterol stones, are primarily composed of fat.

2.    Pigment stone- Pigment stones are tiny, dark stones that develop when bilirubin levels are elevated.

Symptoms of gallbladder stone

1.  Stomach pain

  • The most typical symptom is pain in the upper right abdomen (biliary colon).
  • Acute, abrupt, and severe pain
  • situated beneath the upper abdomen or right rib cage.
  • could go anywhere from thirty minutes to many hours.
  • frequently brought on by a fatty meal.

2.  Backpain

  • The right shoulder or back (between the shoulder blades) may become inflamed.
  • frequently characterized as a severe, agonizing pain

3.  Bloating

  • A sense of fullness
  • Belching or gas
  • discomfort following meals, particularly those high in fat

4.  Jaundice(fever)

  • Discoloration of the eyes or skin
  • occurs when the common bile duct is blocked by a stone.
  • may be linked to pale stools and black urine.

5.  Nausea and vomiting

  • occurs when bile flow is blocked by gallstones.
  • When the digestive tract is disturbed, nausea or vomiting may result.

6.   Dark urine and pale stools

  • Because of the obstruction, too much bilirubin accumulates in the blood.
  • Bilirubin is processed by the liver, but because it cannot be eliminated by the intestines, it instead enters the urine.
  • As a result, urine becomes brown, tea-colored, or dark yellow.

Causes

1.   elevated bile cholesterol

  •  An excessive amount of cholesterol in the bile Normally, cholesterol is dissolved by the bile.
  • Crystals may form if the liver produces too much cholesterol and there are insufficient bile salts to breakdown it.
  • Gallstones may form from these crystals.

2.   Bile substance imbalance

  • When red blood cells degrade, a substance called bilirubin is created.
  • The liver produces too much bilirubin due to certain diseases, including:
  • Cirrhosis is one example of a liver disease.
  • The bile duct infections
  • Rapid lysis of red blood cells, or hemolytic anemia
  • Gallstones that are dark brown or black in color might result from an excess of bilirubin.

3.   Inadequate gallbladder emptying

  • Bile gets concentrated if the gallbladder doesn't empty entirely or frequently enough.
  • Stones are more likely to form in concentrated bile.
  • This may occur because of:
  • Long-term fasting
  • diets low in fat
  • Some drugs
  • pregnancy (because of changes in hormones)

Risk factors of gallbladder stone

1.    Most common in women

2.    Age greater than 40 years

3.    obesity

4.    pregnancy

5.    diabetes

6.    family history

Diagnose

In order to diagnose gallstones and rule out complications like infections or bile duct obstruction, a clinical evaluation, imaging studies, and occasionally laboratory investigations are required.

1. Medical History and Physical Assessment

  • The physician will inquire about:
  • Pain (where, how long, and how)
  • Triggers (fatty meals, for example)
  • Symptoms include as fever, jaundice, nausea, or vomiting
They might:

Check for soreness by pressing on your belly, paying particular attention to the right upper quadrant (Murphy's sign).

2. Image Test

 Abdominal Ultrasound: The most popular and trustworthy test

  • detects gallstones, gallbladder inflammation, and gallbladder wall thickening.
  • Sludge, or thicker bile, may also be seen.

Computed tomography (CT) scan:

  • useful for identifying issues such as infection, rupture, or perforation
  • might overlook tiny cholesterol stones
  •  Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography (MRI/MRCP): A non-invasive technique to visualize the gallbladder and bile ducts
  • aids in the detection of bile duct stones (choledocholithiasis).

Cholecintigraphy HIDA Scan

  • A nuclear medicine scan to assess the function of the gallbladder
  • Aids in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis (inflammation/infection)

3. Blood Test

  • These aid in evaluating issues such as infection, liver damage, or bile duct blockage but do not identify gallstones.
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): Increased WBC could indicate an illness.
  • Tests for Liver Function:
  • If bile ducts are obstructed, the levels of ALT, AST, ALP, and GGT are increased.
  • When there is bile duct blockage or jaundice, bilirubin levels rise.
  • If the pancreas is impacted (gallstone pancreatitis), amylase and lipase levels may increase.

4. Bile Duct Stone Endoscopic Tests 

  • Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP): This procedure combines X-ray and endoscopy
  • aids in locating and clearing bile duct stones
  • frequently employed when gallstones result in infection or obstruction.

Treatment

1.   Asymptomatic- often no treatment needed

2.  Symptomatic stones-

Medications to dissolve stones

Surgical removal of the gallbladder

Endoscopic removal for stones in bile duct
