What is Gallbladder Stone , Causes
and Treatment
What is Gallbladder Stone?
Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones, are
small, hard deposits that form in the gallbladder,
a small organ located under the liver. These
stones are made of various substances, such as
cholesterol, bile salts, and calcium, and can range
in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball.
Gallstones can cause pain, nausea, and other
digestive problems, and may require treatment if
they become symptomatic. Factors that increase
the risk of developing gallstones include obesity,
a high-fat diet, and certain medical conditions
such as diabetes and liver disease.
Types of Gallbladder stones?
There are three main types of gallbladder stones:
1) Cholesterol Stone
2) Pigment Stones
3) Mixed Stones
4) Cholesterol Stones: These are the most common type of gallstone made
of cholesterol that has hardened into stones.
5) Pigment Stones: These stones are made of bilirubin, a waste product
from the breakdown of red blood cells. They are less common than
cholesterol stones and are more likely to occur in people with liver
disease or blood disorders.
3) Mixed Stones: These stones are a combination of cholesterol and
bilirubin and are the least common type of gallstones. They can be
challenging to treat and may require various treatments to remove them.
Symptoms of Gallbladder stone
Many people with gallbladder stones may not experience any symptoms
and may not require treatment. However, when gallstones cause
symptoms, the most common ones include:
1) Sudden and intense abdominal pain, usually in the upper right part
of the abdomen or the centre of the abdomen, may last several hours
and can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting.
2) Back pain between the shoulder blades.
3) Bloating and indigestion.
4. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
5. Fever and chills.
6. Clay-coloured stools and dark urine.
Symptoms may be mild or severe, ranging from occasional discomfort to
a severe attack, which can be life-threatening if left untreated. If you
experience any of these symptoms, seeking medical attention as soon as
possible is important.
Causes of Gallbladder Stones?
The exact cause of gallbladder stones is not entirely clear, but several
factors can increase the risk of developing them, including:
1. Genetics: A family history of gallstones increases the likelihood of
developing them.
2. Obesity: Being overweight or obese can increase the amount of
cholesterol in bile, leading to the formation of gallstones.
3. Genetics: A family history of gallstones increases the likelihood of
developing them.
4. Age: Gallstones are more common in older adults, particularly
women over 60.
5. Gender: Women are more likely to develop gallstones than men,
possibly due to the effect of estrogen on cholesterol metabolism.
6. Pregnancy: Pregnancy increases the risk of developing gallstones
due to hormonal changes and decreased gallbladder function.
7. Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as liver
disease, diabetes, and Crohn's disease, can increase the risk of
developing gallstones.
Treatment for Gallbladder Stone
The treatment for gallbladder stones depends on several factors, including
the size and type of stones, the severity of symptoms, and the patient's
overall health. Treatment options include:
1. Watchful waiting: If the stones are small and not causing any
symptoms, a "wait and see" approach may be taken, with regular
monitoring to check for any changes or worsening symptoms.
2. Medications: Certain medications can dissolve small cholesterol stones,
but this approach can take several months and is not always effective.
3. Surgery: A cholecystectomy, or gallbladder removal surgery, is the most
common treatment for gallbladder stones, particularly if symptoms are
severe or there are complications such as inflammation or infection.
4. Non-surgical procedures: Non-surgical procedures, such as
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) or shock
wave lithotripsy, can break up or remove stones without surgery.
The choice of treatment will depend on the individual case. It should be
discussed with a healthcare provider who can advise on the best course
of action.
Presently advanced treatment options for gallbladder stones have
significantly improved over the years, with minimally invasive procedures
such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy and non-surgical techniques like
ERCP and shock wave lithotripsy. These treatments offer faster recovery
times, less pain, and fewer complications than traditional open surgery.
Advance Laser Treatment /
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a modern surgical technique used to
remove gallbladder stones. The procedure involves making small incisions in
the abdomen, resulting in less pain and quicker recovery time than
traditional open surgery. Hari Laser Clinics has a team of highly skilled
surgeons specialising in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, ensuring a safe and
effective patient procedure. The clinic also provides personalized care and
support throughout treatment and recovery. Patients can expect to resume
their daily activities shortly following the procedure.
