Gallstones – Enemies Of Women

Gallstones attack mainly women. Fortunately for most victims, gallstones are 'gentle' pathologies - they do not cause severe symptoms.
And there are actually many ways to effectively manage gallstones - once they come out.

What is gallstones?
"Origin" of gallstones is bile fluid - a compound that helps the body digest fat and tame a series of vitamins.
The bile secretion is secreted by the liver and transported to the gallbladder, which carries out the role of preserving and condensing bile, with a pear-shaped shape that lasts

.
The presence of fat in the digested food triggers a hormonal response that causes the gallbladder to spasm, followed by the bile that enters the intestine.
Gallstones are nothing more than small lumps that appear from crystallized bile. Most are not larger than 2 5 cm in size, but it is not uncommon for the case to be as small as a grain of sand.




Most gallstones are primarily composed of cholesterol. There are also other minor pigments: calcium salts and bilirubin, the breakdown products of red blood cells ...
Cholesterol crystallizes in small lumps when the gall bladder stores more bile fluid than it can dissolve bile salts. The cause of the stagnation may also be due to the abnormal functioning of the gallbladder.
An excess of pigment forming materials appears to be associated with liver disease, certain anemia or biliary tract infections
Gallstones become a source of pathological conditions when they block one or several bile ducts - from the liver to the gallbladder or from the gallbladder to the intestines.



They can also block gastrointestinal enzymes created by bile.
Why does the disease mainly attack women?
All due to female hormones. Estrogens increase cholesterol levels in bile fluid, progesterone slows down the rate of gallbladder release.
This further explains why the probability of women getting sick decreases with the same age (compared to the trend for men).
Before age 40, the rate of gallstones in women (especially at increased risk during pregnancy) is nearly three times higher than that of men diagnosed; after age 60, the probability of falling ill in women does not increase significantly.
Hormone replacement therapy (estrogen) also increases the risk of disease, especially in the case of hormones supplemented to the body in oral form instead of indirectly through tape (through the skin); Birth control pills also increase the risk of developing gallstones, especially during the first ten years of use.

The next risk factor is obesity: more body fat stores more estrogen.
It is absurd that the risk also increases in the case of sudden weight loss due to fat loss efforts; because of the energy-poor menu that inhibits the production of bile, which makes cholesterol precipitation faster.




The occurrence of gallstones after liposuction or gastric bypass surgery to limit appetite has occurred to the extent that it is not rare for patients to require cholecystectomy right after the procedure.
The next cause for the appearance of gallstones is diabetes or other illnesses that restrict the function of the gallbladder or slow down the bowel movement - including spinal cord damage. To a certain extent, gallstones also have a genetic predisposition.
Symptom
Most subjects with gallstones have precipitated without even knowing. The "silent" stones do not cause any symptoms and are often discovered by chance on other visits - diagnosed by ultrasound or abdominal ultrasound.
Symptoms of intense pain occur most often when a stone compresses the bile ducts or blocks the bile duct.
Pain usually occurs in the event of a sudden spasm of the gallbladder (usually after a high-fat, meat-rich meal), as a result of the increased pressure of stones on the gallbladder or the act of constricting the gallbladder causing them to translate transfer, resulting in blockage of the confidential path.
In the basic symptoms, pain usually occurs in the middle or right of the upper abdomen, just below the ribs - the pain increases for about 60 minutes and can be sustained, gradually decreasing next few hours.




Painful sensations may be intense and persistent (patients often associate scalp wounds) or stinging and distressing.
It is not uncommon for pain to spread in the back (at kidney height) or the right arm. Not excluded accompanied by nausea and vomiting. The pain subsided, when the gallbladder returned to its normal state.
Pebbles trapped inside the bile ducts can also cause serious complications, including acute cholecystitis, cholecystitis or cholangitis.
All of them lead to painful conditions, and a number of other symptoms including jaundice, high fever ...



Treatment often applies appropriate antibiotics (oral form) and surgical removal of stones - in case of danger grant.
The bile secretion mechanism may function normally after a gallbladder removal surgery; The liver chamber continues to produce enough bile fluid, to maintain physiological digestion. Simply, after cutting the gallbladder, the bile fluid flows directly into the intestines through the common bile duct.
If there is no food in the intestine for a long time, the presence of bile fluid can lead to diarrhea. Then you can prevent rejection.
