Gallbladder Stone Treatment Without Operation

Gallbladder stones or gallstones are hard stone-like deposits made up of cholesterol and bilirubin that form in the gallbladder. They are made up of bile, a digestive fluid that is made in the liver and carried to the different organs by the bile ducts within the biliary tract. Although gallstones do not always cause problems, they may sometimes get stuck in the biliary tract and cause blockage in the bile flow. 

In this blog, we will learn more about gallbladder stone treatment without operation and the role of homoeopathic medicine for gallbladder stone treatment. So please read on to learn more. 

Gallstones Meaning?

The gallbladder is a small organ that is located in the upper right abdomen below the liver. It stores the bile required for digestion. Gallstones are created when cholesterol and bilirubin present in the bile harden. The size of a gallstone may vary. Gallstones may or may not cause any symptoms. There are various treatments available for gallstones. Both surgical and non-surgical.

Gallstones Symptoms: 

In many cases, common gallstones do not cause any symptoms. Many people who have gallstones are not even aware of it. Usually, these gallstones get noticed during a normal X-ray or an abdominal procedure. 

However, gallstones can become serious if they block the tube or duct, draining the gallbladder. These stones can then block the biliary tract and cause pain and complications. If a gallstone gets deposited in the duct and leads to blockage, it can cause the following signs and symptoms,

  • Sudden pain in the upper abdomen
  • Nausea 
  • A high temperature 
  • Abdominal swelling 
  • yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)
  • skin itching 
  • chills 
  • diarrhoea 
  • confusion 
  • Loss of appetite 
  • Rapid heartbeat 

As these symptoms may resemble symptoms of other conditions such as gallbladder inflammation, gallbladder infection, appendicitis, pancreatitis or liver problem, it is best to go see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis done.

Gallstones Causes: 

The exact causes of gallstone formation are not clear. Researchers believe that gallstones typically form when,

  • There is excessive bilirubin in the bile
  • There is excessive cholesterol in the bole 
  • the gallbladder does not empty completely

Risk factors of Gallstones:

While the exact causes of gallbladder stone formation are not clear, the risk factors of gallstones include the following, 

  • Being 40 or above 
  • Having a family history of gallstones 
  • Eating a diet high in fat 
  • Pregnancy 
  • Having a sedentary lifestyle
  • Being overweight or having obesity
  • Eating a high-cholesterol diet
  • Eating a diet low in fibre 
  • Being diabetic 
  • Having certain types of blood disorders like leukemia 
  • Having sickle cell anemia 
  • Having liver conditions
  • Effect of certain medications such as hormone therapy or oral contraceptives 

 

Complications of Gallstones:

If gallstones remain undetected and untreated for a long time, they can block the bile flow through the biliary system, affecting the other organs present in that system. Bile that gets blocked and does not flow goes back into the bile ducts and the other organs, leading to acute inflammation and also making the person more vulnerable to bacterial infections. If this becomes severe, it can cause various conditions that can also become life-threatening. Some of the complications associated with gallstones include the following,

  • Jaundice (due to excessive bile in the bloodstream)
  • Inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis)
  • Inflammation of the bile duct (cholangitis)
  • Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis)
  • Blockage of the pancreatic duct
  • Septicemia (infection in the bloodstream)
  • Gallbladder cancer 
  • Inflammation in the liver (hepatitis)

 

How to Diagnose Gallstones:

In certain cases, gallstones are diagnosed during a routine abdominal scan. However, if the patient experiences symptoms resembling gallstones, the healthcare provider will carry out some tests to rule out or confirm the presence of gallstones. After conducting a physical examination, the healthcare provider may order some more tests to confirm the presence of gallstones. Some of these tests include the following,

  • Blood tests 
  • Endoscopic ultrasound
  • CT scan 
  • Cholescintigraphy or HIDA scan 
  • Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP)
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)

Gallbladder Stone Treatment without Operation

There are many cases in which surgery cannot be performed to remove gallbladder stones. In such cases, the individual is treated with non-surgical treatments. Some of the commonly used non-surgical treatments for gallbladder stones include the following,

  • Medications 
  • Shock wave lithotripsy 
  • Percutaneous drainage of the gallbladder
  • Homeopathy
