The reason for the need for a quick diagnosis of cholel

Today, I would like to talk about gallstones. The bile is made in the liver, concentrated in the gallbladder, and digested in the duodenum. This bile produces an average of 800ml a day. It is made up of water and cholesterol, fat and bile salts, protein and bilirubin. At this time, if gallstones contain too much bile acid or bilirubin, these components can harden like stones and stagnate in the gallbladder or bile duct. It belongs to a problem that can be found in about 4% of the population of Korea. If I suspect that a related disease has occurred, I should get a gallstone test quickly to take proper measures.

1. Why does cholelithiasis appear?

There are several causes and risk factors for this to occur. First of all, it is about twice as likely to occur in women as in men. That’s because pregnancy produces an excess of estrogen, which can increase cholesterol levels in bile by taking oral contraceptives. Overweight and rapid weight loss are also one of the causes. This can occur when both men and women are obese or on a sudden diet.

2. When do I need to have a cholelithiasis test?

Even if you have gallstones, 60-80% are almost asymptomatic. But not all cases. Biliary acid pain is a typical phenomenon when symptoms appear. This causes persistent and severe pain in the pit of the stomach and upper right. And there is a point that the pain may spread to the lower part of the right shoulder blade. Most of the pain is characterized by a sudden onset or a gradual decrease after 1 to 6 hours. And there are frequent chills and vomiting, and symptoms such as fever may appear. If these symptoms appear, you should get a cholelithiasis test as soon as possible. Abdominal ultrasound examination is performed first, and abdominal CT may be performed when more detailed examination is required.

3. Why shouldn’t I leave the symptoms alone when they appear?

Cholestone causes pain by walking around stones that may occur in the gallbladder or biliary tract, but if left unattended for a long time, it can block surrounding organs. In that case, problems such as pancreatitis and cholangitis can occur, so you need to get a cholelithiasis test as soon as possible. Then, we have to proceed with the method of removing this gallstone.

4. Wouldn’t removing the gallbladder cause physical problems?

If gallstones are present, cholecystectomy may be performed depending on the condition. At this time, many people are worried that losing the gallbladder will cause a big change in the body. But not at all. If the gallbladder disappears, the remaining space will increase and work instead of the gallbladder. Therefore, even if you have gallbladder resection, there will be no significant change in the body. Of course, symptoms such as indigestion and thinning of feces may occur at first, but you don’t have to worry about it first because it will get better after some time.

5. Can’t you just pull a stone out of the gallbladder?

At this time, many people are curious why the gallbladder needs to be removed and there is no way to take out only stones. If gallstones are present in the bile duct, it can be removed by ERCP. It can be done by inserting a tube from the skin and removing stones, but there are various risks, so gallbladder resection is performed almost without performing it. As I said earlier, even if it is removed, it does not have a significant effect on the human body, so it is recommended to remove gallstones through this process.
