HOMOEOPATHY: INFALLIBLE FOR GALL BLADDER STONES
Gallstones are hard, pebble-like pieces of material, usually made of cholesterol or bilirubin, that form in gallbladder. Gallstones can range in size from a grain of sand to a golf ball. The gallbladder can make one large gallstone, hundreds of tiny stones, or both small and large stones.
When gallstones block the bile ducts of biliary tract, the gallstones can cause sudden pain in upper right abdomen. This pain is called a gallbladder attack, or biliary colic. If symptoms continue and they are left untreated, gallstones can cause serious complications.
However, most gallstones don’t cause blockages and are painless, also called “silent” gallstones. Silent gallstones usually don’t need medical treatment.
A sudden pain in the upper right part or the center of abdomen indicates the presence of gallstones. The right shoulder can hurt too. Symptoms of indigestion , constipation , excessive gas formation are also not uncommon . Gallstones are hard deposits of digestive fluid that can form in the gallbladder.
The gallbladder is a small organ on the right side of the abdomen with digestive fluid called bile that’s released into the small intestine.
TYPES OF GALL STONES
The two main types of gallstones are
• cholesterol stones
• pigment stones
Cholesterol stones are usually yellow-green in color and are made of mostly hardened cholesterol. In some countries, cholesterol stones make up about 75 percent of gallstones.
Pigment stones are dark in color and are made of bilirubin. Some people have a mix of both kinds of stones.
