Ways to treat gallstone symptoms

Symptoms of gallstones usually need to be alleviated through treatments such as medication and surgery. Proper dietary adjustments are also an important means of relieving symptoms. This article will introduce several common treatments, including medication, surgery, and dietary advice.

1) Drug treatment: Suitable for patients with mild symptoms or who are not suitable for surgery. Ursodeoxycholic acid is a drug commonly used to dissolve gallstones, which can help reduce the size and number of gallstones. Patients need to use it under the guidance of a doctor and follow up regularly to evaluate the treatment effect.

2) Surgical treatment: including traditional cholecystectomy and minimally invasive laparoscopic cholecystectomy, suitable for patients with obvious symptoms and ineffective drug treatment. Laparoscopic surgery usually has the advantages of quick recovery, less pain, and shorter hospitalization time, and is currently a more common surgical method.

3) Diet adjustment: Healthy eating habits are particularly important for preventing and relieving gallstone symptoms. High-fiber foods such as oats, brown rice, fresh fruits and vegetables can help improve the flow of bile. Avoiding foods high in cholesterol and saturated fat, such as fried foods and full-fat dairy products, can reduce the burden on the gallbladder.

The symptoms of gallstones can be effectively relieved through medication and surgery, and dietary adjustments play an important role in preventing and controlling symptoms. Paying attention to a healthy diet, maintaining a reasonable weight, and having regular health checks are important measures to prevent gallstones and maintain bile duct health.
