Some individuals with silent stones in the gallbladder may not exhibit any symptoms. These stones do not impede the function of the gallbladder, liver, or pancreas and don’t require gallstone treatment. However, sometimes gallstone pain can be excruciating when they obstruct the biliary tract:
Persistent, intense pain in the upper abdomen that escalated quickly. It can endure for periods ranging from 30 minutes to several hours.
Pain in the right shoulder and back
Nausea and vomiting
Fever and chills
Jaundice, characterised by yellowing of the skin or eyes
Gastric symptoms like abdominal bloating, indigestion, belching or excess gas
Inability to tolerate fatty foods
Gallbladder stones pose different risks, some of which are not easily visible. Some such risk factors associated with gallbladder stones include:
Obesity: A significant risk factor for stones in the gallbladder, especially notable in women.
Cholesterol-lowering Drugs: Medications to reduce blood cholesterol can boost bile cholesterol secretion. This can increase gallstone risk.
Diabetes: Diabetics often have elevated triglyceride levels, elevating gallstone risk.
Rapid Weight Loss: During rapid weight loss, the liver releases excess cholesterol into bile, promoting gallstone formation.
Fasting: It slows gallbladder movement, leading to cholesterol over-concentration in bile.
Oestrogen: Excess oestrogen, whether from pregnancy, hormone therapy, or birth control, raises bile cholesterol levels. This, in turn, reduces gallbladder activity, increasing gallstone risk.
Here’s a comparison table highlighting the differences between open surgery, laser surgery, and stapler surgery for piles:
| Factors | Open Surgery | Laser Surgery | Stapler Surgery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anesthesia | General | Local | General |
| Incision | Invasive | Minimally-invasive | Minimally-invasive |
| Recovery Time | Long | Short | Short |
| Bleeding | High risk | Minimal | Minimal |
| Complications | High | Minimal | Minimal |
| Cost | Less | Moderate | High |
| Hemorrhoid Removal | Surgically excised | Vaporized or Coagulated | Tissue is repositioned |
