Is gallbladder stone treatment without surgery possible?

The gallbladder is a small organ that sits below the liver in the upper right side of our abdomen. The gallbladder stores bile, a greenish-yellow liquid that helps digestion. The solid structures that form within the gallbladder are known as gallstones. Most gallstones are caused due to increased concentrations of cholesterol in the bile. The other causes for gallstones include increased bilirubin in the bile or failed periodical emptying of the bile from the gallbladder.

Treatment of gallstones is not necessary until symptoms are seen. If you have been experiencing sudden and radiating pain in the right side of the abdomen, the doctor will most likely recommend surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). But is there a way to treat gallstone without undergoing surgery?

பித்தப்பையை எடுத்த பிறகும் பேலியோ டயட்டை தொடரலாமா?

கல்லீரலுக்கு கீழே பை போல இருக்கும் பித்தப்பையில் தான் அடர்த்தியான நிலையில் பித்தநீர் சேமிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும்.  கொழுப்பு நிறைந்த உணவுகளை உட்கொண்ட பிறகோ அல்லது அதிகமான உணவை உட்கொண்ட பிறகோ சேமிக்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் இந்த பித்தநீர், பித்தநீர் குழாய் வழியே வயிற்றுக்குள் அனுப்பப்படுகின்றன.  நமது உணவில் அதிகமான கொழுப்பு இருக்கும் பட்சத்தில் பித்தப்பை அதிகமாக வேலை செய்கிறது.  பேலியோ உணவுமுறை அதிகப்படியான கொழுப்பு மற்றும் புரதத்தால் ஆன ஒரு டயட் ஆகும்.  இந்த உணவு முறையில் மிகக் குறைந்த அளவே மாவுச்சத்து எடுத்துக்கொள்ளப்படுகிறது.  கொழுப்பை செரிக்க பித்த நீர் அவசியம் என்பதால் பித்தப்பை அகற்ற அறுவை சிகிச்சை மேற்கொண்டவர்கள் இந்த பேலியோ உணவு முறையை பின்பற்றலாமா வேண்டாமா என்ற குழப்பத்தில் இருக்கிறார்கள்.  இதற்கான விடையை இங்கே காண்போம்.

Will I encounter digestive problems after Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) is considered to be the gold standard of bariatric surgery. In a gastric bypass, the stomach is divided into two portions, one smaller than the other. The smaller upper stomach which is connected to the food pipe is made into the active stomach by attaching the small intestine to it. With this reconstruction, the food that we eat bypasses the major part of the stomach and the proximal portion of the small intestine. The reduced size and capacity of the stomach and reduced length of the small intestine greatly help in weight reduction.
