Eat regularly to prevent gallbladder polyps

Many people think that gallbladder polyps have no symptoms, so they don't have to be afraid. But gallbladder polyps can still cause other diseases, so we should also pay more attention to prevention in our daily lives.

1. Eat regularly

Eating three meals a day regularly is the best way to prevent polyps. Because when you are not eating, the gallbladder is full of bile, and the gallbladder mucosa absorbs water to make the bile thicker. At this time, cholesterol/lecithin bubbles are easily formed, and the viscosity of the bile also increases, eventually forming bile sludge. If you eat, when food enters the duodenum, cholecystokinin is secreted reactively, causing the gallbladder to contract. At this time, a large amount of viscous bile containing bile sludge is discharged into the intestine, thus preventing the formation of polyps.

2. Pay attention to hygiene

Pay attention to hygiene to prevent intestinal ascariasis. Developing good hygiene habits, washing hands before and after meals, washing raw fruits, and maintaining good environmental hygiene are effective measures to prevent ascariasis and are also helpful in preventing bile pigment polyps.

3. Do a good job of deworming

Actively treat intestinal ascariasis and biliary ascariasis. After intestinal ascariasis is found, anthelmintics should be taken in time to prevent ascariasis from entering the bile duct. If there is biliary ascariasis, it should be actively treated to prevent the long-term occurrence of bile pigment polyps.

4. Maintain gallbladder

Maintain gallbladder contraction function and prevent long-term bile stagnation. Patients who fast for a long time and use intravenous nutrition should regularly use gallbladder contraction drugs, such as cholecystokinin.

5. Actively treat the primary disease

Active treatment can cause some primary diseases of gallbladder polyps, such as hemolytic anemia and cirrhosis, because these diseases are prone to induce gallbladder bile pigment polyps.

6. Preventing extrahepatic bile duct injury and stricture

Bile duct stricture can lead to bile stagnation in the bile duct and the formation of bile pigment polyps. In upper abdominal surgery, especially cholecystectomy or gastrectomy, injury to the extrahepatic bile duct should be avoided.
