Is it worth removing the gallbladder with stones and what is the life after removing it?

By the way, I read that Ursodez, Ursofalk dissolve only cholesterol stones, which are extremely rare, because they mostly come with impurities.

I would like to clarify, is this really so?

To delete or not, only the doctor will tell you for sure. Maybe it will be possible to dissolve stones with drugs like ursodez or ursosan ... I also heard that ultrasound crushes stones, at least in the kidneys, I don’t know exactly as with the gallbladder.

Urosodes and analogues help in dissolving only cholesterol stones, if your stones are of a calcium nature, it is more and more difficult. Otherwise, I agree with the previous reviews.

The decision about the operation is always a balance between the risks of the disease itself and the operation. There are three stages in cholelithiasis: asymptomatic, symptomatic and complicated.

Today, the optimal tactics is as follows:

If stones are an accidental finding on ultrasound, they do not manifest themselves in any way (asymptomatic stage) - you can live peacefully, observing a diet.

In 99% of cases, serious complications of gallstone disease are preceded by the so-called biliary colic (pain after eating fatty foods). This is already a symptomatic stage and it is optimal for a planned operation (laparoscopic cholecystectomy)

With the development of complications (acute cholecystitis, cholangitis, pancreatitis, etc.), it is undoubtedly necessary to remove the gallbladder.

As for life after removal - if the operation is performed according to indications, the quality of life practically does not deteriorate. It is quite rare to encounter complications such as diarrhea due to impaired reabsorption of bile, and we know what to do about it. The only thing - you need to follow a diet, the meaning of which is the frequent intake of small amounts of food and limiting fat.

You just need to remove the bubble. And no ursasans. It only aggravates the condition and tears the pancreas. I removed the bubble a month ago. Nagging pain in the pancreas remained. What next, I can't say anything yet.

If you are concerned about seizures and discomfort in the epigastric region, then it is necessary. Depends on the number and size of stones, MRI cholangiography is indispensable. You can start with an ultrasound scan. If there are a lot of stones, then the gallstone does not work effectively and it is better to remove it. Small stones can get into the bile duct and block it, which is a big problem, believe my experience. Seven years ago, after stones got into the duct, they first removed stones from the duct (this is along the line of endoscopy, not every hospital has such equipment!
), then only (after 10 days) gallstones. For 7 years I lived normally, I did not adhere to a special diet, and after 7 years I was spasmodic in the area of ​​the sun, an attack occurred. I made an MRI - a stone in the 8mm duct. Those. stones can form in the duct after removal of the bile. Operation again: papillosphincterotomy with lithoextraction (this is done through the mouth on special equipment under anesthesia). Now I am recovering, I must drink Ursofalk prophylactically 2 times a year, before that I was not given such recommendations. Diet is ideal, but we live for our pleasure and how much of that life? Good luck and don't get sick!

My friend's gallbladder was removed, her stone was more than 2 cm. Now she adheres to a strict diet and fractional nutrition (she eats 6 times a day, fat is not allowed), plus she takes ursodez as a choleretic drug that prevents stone formation. Ursodez has a cleavage effect on existing deposits and helps to remove their remains from the body.

is definitely worth it. The stones will not come out on their own, they will only grow. They can block the bile duct, inflammation will begin, and then it will be urgent to remove it. They can provoke purulent inflammation in the liver, this will require serious surgery. They can block the pancreatic duct, provoking pancreatonecrosis, and this is almost 100% death. Routinely, the gallbladder can be removed by laparoscopy, without huge scars and incisional hernias.
