So why do some people have gallstone surgery or will it recur?
A few years ago, Miss Wang suddenly had a swelling pain in her right upper abdomen, which had no obvious cause. When it got worse, it would be reflected in her shoulders and back, accompanied by nausea. Miss Wang mistakenly thought that she had eaten unclean food, so she just had to endure it, but the symptoms were not as simple as Miss Wang thought, especially the abdominal pain continued, so she quickly went to the local hospital for treatment. Miss Wang couldn't believe that she had gallstones accompanied by acute cholecystitis, and then Miss Wang was treated for stones in the hospital.
But I didn't expect that Miss Wang's abdominal pain has been repeated recently, which has brought a lot of inconvenience to her life. And these symptoms are getting worse and worse, and what you eat will be spit out. Repeated attacks of gallstones make Miss Wang very painful, and physical pain makes Miss Wang very upset. So, Miss Wang came to Wuhan Kyoto Lithotripsy Hospital for gallstone treatment. Hospital experts made a detailed examination of Miss Wang again and found that Miss Wang not only suffered from chronic calculous cholecystitis, but also fatty liver. On June 5, Miss Wang was pushed into the operating room by medical staff to perform minimally invasive gallbladder-preserving lithotomy. During the operation, the doctor found that Miss Wang's gallbladder had formed chronic suppurative cholecystitis. If the operation is delayed, the gallbladder is likely to be seriously damaged. Once the gallbladder loses its function due to injury, it can't be saved at that time.
After the operation, a stone the size of a soybean was taken out of Miss Wang's gallbladder. Director Shen introduced that from the color alone, this stone belongs to miscellaneous stones. Their formation is related to the living habits and diet of patients, and lack of exercise provides one of the favorable conditions for the formation of stones. In addition, patients sleep late every day and wake up late the next day, so breakfast and lunch are combined and breakfast is omitted. This causes bile to easily form crystals due to long-term retention, which provides the second condition for the formation of stones.
The main causes of recurrence of gallstones are as follows:
First of all, the severity of gallstones in patients.
Generally speaking, patients with severe gallstones will have more stones in their gallbladder than other patients. In this case, the patient is likely to have too many gallstones during the operation, and the stones in the gallbladder are not completely cleaned up. In addition, if the patient suddenly has liver abnormalities after operation, it is likely that new stones will form in the gallbladder.
Second, do not pay attention to postoperative diet.
Many patients have a wrong idea that they have removed gallstones from their bodies through surgery, so they don't have to worry about getting gallstones. Therefore, these patients did not pay attention to their diet after the operation, and they still ate a lot of foods high in fat and cholesterol as before. This is easy to make the bile concentration in the gallbladder too high, thus forming new gallstones.
Third, dieting to lose weight should be "moderate"
Because the physiology of bile is continuous secretion and indirect excretion, dieting and losing weight will disrupt the process of bile intermittent excretion, force bile to concentrate and increase the risk of recurrence of stones.
Fourth, exercise more.
Moderate exercise: Generally speaking, normal people should do about 1 hour of exercise every day. As for what kind of exercise is good, it depends on everyone's specific situation. For example, if you are in your thirties and forties, you are usually busy at work. You can participate in swimming, running, aerobics, badminton, table tennis, tennis and other sports according to your hobbies, and you can also go to the gym to exercise. People over the age of 60 should exercise slowly and regularly, instead of strenuous exercise, such as brisk walking, jogging, walking, Tai Ji Chuan and square dancing.
From a medical point of view, if the nutrition in the body is unbalanced, it will provide conditions for inducing certain diseases. Therefore, after general treatment, doctors will advise patients to eat more foods containing nutrients that are temporarily missing in the body to adjust the nutritional balance in the body, and some foods are already surplus in the body. This can't be said that these foods are absolutely forbidden, just eat less, because for bile in the human body, a small amount of oily food can also help the circulation of bile and reduce the re-formation of stones.
Many patients often think that a small stone in the human body is nothing, and they only go to see a doctor when the stone is acute. This concept is wrong. The formation of stones did not happen overnight. If not treated in time, it will grow with time, thus causing damage to the gallbladder. Once the stone endangers the gallbladder function, it will not be worth the loss.
