Cholelithiasis

The name of cholelithiasis eloquently speaks for itself and designates morbid condition of bilious ways with formation in them of sand and stones – at the beginning of a disease, to their full impassability – in a final stage. Artful cholelithiasis usually gives nothing the presence at an organism when process of "lithogenesis" only just begins. There will pass not one year after the first pebble invisible to an eye appears in a gall bladder and until as the person will feel a painful attack of cholelithiasis for the first time.

Therefore it is so important to know to everyone about the nature of developing of cholelithiasis and the potential reasons provoking it, the warned person, as we know, is not unarmed.

Cholelithiasis reasons

It is often possible to hear as cholelithiasis is called a disease of successful people. It is difficult to call life of our compatriots safe, but, nevertheless, only on official statistics the fifth part of Russians carries in right hypochondrium of various treasure sizes, consisting of mixed and multi-colored stones. This fact, of course, is explained not by wellbeing, but features of unhealthy food and a way of life. Just a large number of stressful situations also forces our fellow citizens "to jam" the alarms food fat, fried, rich with cholesterol. And excess of cholesterol, along with bad ecology and heredity, leads to the fact that normal functioning of a gall bladder is broken and development of cholelithiasis is provoked.

Along with uniform food, the beginning of cholelithiasis is promoted by also slow-moving way of life. Because of a lack of physical activity and generally sedentary mode of life of a gall bladder and its channels bile stagnates, and in it crystals of cholesteric, calcic, phosphoric, carbonic and other acids are formed. Indispensable participants of bilious "lithogenesis" - various pigments, in particular, bilirubin. Pigments are responsible for giving to gallstones of the most various, sometimes, of rather fancy coloring.

Diagnosis of cholelithiasis

To give an unambiguous assessment of a condition of an organism and to make the clinical diagnosis cholelithiasis, being based only on complaints of the patient, any most experienced specialist will not be able. Especially as at cholelithiasis attacks individual feelings can be very specific. From complaints to the most severe heart attacks, before causeless frustration of a chair. Some patients are disturbed by a symptom of the angry stomach, feeling of weight, heartburn and at the same time completely there is no pain in right hypochondrium.

At regular display of pristupoobrazny pains after disturbance of food (reception of greasy, fried food), often arising nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention it is necessary, without postponing to make ultrasound examination of a liver, gall bladder and bilious channels. At suspicion on formation of calcic stones, the doctor can advise to make a X-ray analysis of abdominal organs. In some cases cholelithiasis, and in extremely started stage, are diagnosed absolutely accidentally at total absence of clinical symptoms and any complaints from the patient during planned medical examination of an organism.

Cholelithiasis symptoms

It is almost impossible to notice the beginning of formation of cholelithiasis. Primary stage of a disease proceeds absolutely asymptomatically and the patient can find the first considerable pain already decades later after formation of the first stone.

It is possible to carry pains in the right side to the main symptoms of cholelithiasis which have to cause in you strong reasons for suspicions and in lumbar area, regularly arising bitter smack in a mouth, a yellowish shade of integuments and eyeglobes.

Often the cholelithiasis attack because of similar painful feelings is confused to an attack of stenocardia or stomach aches, but at the attentive relation to the organism they can be distinguished from each other. At cholelithiasis painful feeling appear, as a rule, in hour or half an hour after meal. When pressing the right hypochondrium pain considerably amplifies, especially if to make a palpation on a breath.

Frequent symptoms of cholelithiasis are causeless at first sight an indigestion and abdominal distention.

Treatment of cholelithiasis

Ways of treatment of cholelithiasis directly depend on in what stage the disease is. The started cholelithiasis which came in the current before emergence of bad attacks – bilious gripes, unfortunately, will not respond to treatment folk remedies, and you strongly risk not only the health, but also life, self-medicating.

Knowing and realizing the fact that you carry stones which can cork at any time a bilious channel in the gall bladder, at a bad attack of cholelithiasis try to get up as much as possible courage to react to the events correctly. If pain rather intensive or even moderate force, but does not pass within an hour, call the ambulance or at an opportunity go to medical institution for the help. If pain is intolerable, possibly, acceptance of a papaverine or Nospanum (1-2 tablets).

At an initial stage of cholelithiasis it is possible to consider some measures taken independently, it is rather as prophylactic, than full disposal from it. First of all, as one of similar measures, it is possible to recommend observance of a special diet at cholelithiasis which will interfere with formation of new stones in a gall bladder. Besides, correctly organized food at cholelithiasis will promote natural dissolution and gradual removal from an organism of already available small stones and sand. In a case with stones of especially large sizes treatment of cholelithiasis only by means of a diet unambiguously will be inefficient and in such situation, it most often comes about their operational removal.
