Gallbladder Stones - Who is at risk?
Gallstones are solid particles that form bile cholesterol and bilirubin in the gall bladder. The gallbladder is a small pear-shaped saclike organ in the upper right part of the abdomen. It is positioned under the liver, just below the front rib cage on the right side. The gallbladder is part of the biliary system which comprises the liver and the pancreas. Among other functions, the biliary system transports bile and digestive enzymes.
Bile is a fluid that is made by the liver in order to help in the digestion of fats. It contains several different substances, including cholesterol and bilirubin, a waste product of the normal breakdown of blood cells in the liver. Bile is stored in the gallbladder until needed. When you eat a high-fat, high-cholesterol meal, and the gallbladder contracts and inject bile into the small intestine via a small tube known as the common bile duct. The bile then assists in the digestive process.
What causes gallbladder stones?
Gallbladder stones occur when bile forms solid particles called stones in the gallbladder. The stones form when the amount of cholesterol or bilirubin in the bile is high. Other substances in the bile might promote the formation of stones. If you’ve liver disease or blood disease, then pigment stones can be formed quite most often. Poor muscle tone might keep the gallbladder from emptying totally. The presence of residual bile might promote the formation of gallstones.
Who is at risk?
The risk factors for the formation of cholesterol gallstones include the following.
- Female gender

- Quick weight loss on a bang or hunger diet
- Taking certain medicines such as birth control pills or cholesterol-lowering drugs
What are its complications?
Gallbladder stones can lead to a number of serious complications, including the following.
- Pus in the gallbladder.
- Infection.
- Injury to bile ducts draining the liver might occur after gallbladder surgery.
- Infection within the gallbladder.
- If bile builds up within the gallbladder, causing gallbladder stones, the bile might become infected.
- Untreated gallbladder stones can kill the gallbladder tissue, which, in turn, can lead to a tear in the gallbladder or cause the gallbladder to burst.
How to treat it with homeopathy?
When the stones are smaller in size, homeopathic medicines may help reduce their size. Not only do homeopathic medicines help in reducing the pain associated with gallstones but also reduce inflammation of the gallbladder. Homeopathy helps as preventive medicine in stone formation. If the stones are bigger in size, multiple and obstructed, they may require surgical intervention.
