Gall Bladder Stone, can be treated in Homeopathy with some conditions
Gallstones (choleliths) are crystalline bodies
formed within the body by accretion or concretion of normal or abnormal bile
components.
Gallstones can occur anywhere within the biliary tree,
including the gallbladder and the common bile duct. Obstruction of the common
bile duct is choledocholithiasis;
Size
A gallstone's size varies and may be as small as a sand
grain or as large as a golf ball. The gallbladder may develop a single, often
large stone or many smaller ones. They may occur in any part of the biliary
system.
Causes
Researchers believe that gallstones may be caused by a
combination of factors, including inherited body chemistry, body weight,
gallbladder motility (movement), and perhaps diet.
Symptoms
Gallstones usually remain asymptomatic initially. They
start developing symptoms once the stones reach a certain size (>8 mm).
A main symptom of gallstones is commonly referred to as a gallstone
"attack", also known as biliary colic, in which a person will
experience intense pain in the upper abdominal region that steadily increases
for approximately thirty minutes to several hours. A patient may also
experience pain in the back, ordinarily between the shoulder blades, or pain
under the right shoulder. Nausea and vomiting may occur
These attacks are sharp and intensely painful, similar to
that of a kidney stone attack. Often, attacks occur after a particularly fatty
meal and almost always happen at night. Other symptoms include abdominal
bloating, intolerance of fatty foods, belching, gas, and indigestion..
Some people who have gallstones are asymptomatic and do
not feel any pain or discomfort. These gallstones are called "silent
stones" and do not affect the gallbladder or other internal organs.
Treatment
Surgical options
Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) has a 99% chance of
eliminating the recurrence of cholelithiasis. Only symptomatic patients must be
indicated to surgery. The lack of a gall bladder , however in a significant
proportion of the population - between 5-40% - develop a condition called
postcholecystectomy syndrome which may cause gastrointestinal distress and
persistent pain in the upper right abdomen. In addition, as many as 20% of
patients develop chronic diarrhea.
Homeopathic Treatment
Gall Bladder stones can be effectively dissolved with
Homeopathic medicines.Results are better if the treatment is started at an
early stage soon after the diagnosis is confirmed. Homeopathic treatment can be
a boon to patients who are at high risk surgery such as Aged ones, Hypertensive
and Diabetics. Some food restrictions go side by side.
