How to Remove Gallbladder Stone Without Operation?
Most people experience an unusual ache in the abdomen after an eating event is common but for some, it could be an indication of gallstones. Gallstones are among the most prevalent gastrointestinal disorders that result from excessive production of cholesterol and Bilirubin. The majority of people try to treat this problem by using home remedies for gallbladder stones. They can also follow certain methods that aid in the removal of gallbladder stones naturally.
The majority of patients suffering from gallstones aren’t symptomatic, but in certain cases, if the gallstone blocks a bile duct patient might feel abdominal pain, as well as other digestive issues. Most cases, gallstones can be effectively treated through gallbladder surgery. However, over the last 20 years, there has been an enormous improvement in alternatives to surgery for the treatment of gallstones.
Types of Non-surgical Treatment Modalities
The removal of the gallbladder is the most effective treatment alternative for those suffering from symptoms of gallstones. However, if someone is unable or unwilling to undergo surgery, they may opt for the following treatment options that are non-surgical:
Treatment with bile salts or oral bole This treatment is suggested for stones that originate out of cholesterol, not the chemical bilirubin. In this therapy, medicines with certain chemicals like ursodiol or chenodiol are injected orally to dissolve the gallstones. Depending on the size of the gallstones, it could generally take months or even years for stones to break down.
Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy While it is a popular treatment option for gallstones in the kidney, it is only used in very rare instances. In this treatment, ultra-high frequency sounds are pushed over the stones to break them up into small pieces or fragments. During this procedure, the use of an endoscope as well as surgical instruments is employed to take out the stones.
Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) In this type of therapy it is a procedure where an MTBE solvent is in the gallbladder and injected to break down gallstones quickly. However, as per research, this procedure is associated with severe negative side effects, like an extreme burning pain.
The non-surgical methods may be effective however, the effects of these procedures aren’t lasting in the long run. The stones start to form when the treatment has been stopped, and therefore these are generally not recommended in the clinical setting.
Cholecystectomy or Gallstone surgery can be the most effective and most commonly used treatment option for gallstones. It can be performed by two methods:
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: In this procedure, the laparoscope (a thin tube that is flexible and thin with a camera and light camera on the other end) is placed in the abdomen through small cuts on the abdomen in order to remove the gallbladder.
Open cholecystectomy: During this procedure, a cut is made along the abdomen in order to remove the gallbladder.
