Hi. Gallblader Stones are thought to b caused by imbalance in chemical Composition of bile. Bile is produced by
Liver for digestion of fats(lipids) n is stored in gallbladder n excreted in Small intestine by biliary ducts.
This imbalance cause is exactly unknown but mainly two factors are responsible for gallstones.1) is high Cholesterol (4 out of 5 stones) and 2) is Excess amt of Bilirubin, a waste product to b eliminated Via bile.
There are Several Causes of Gallstones like predominant in females, their risk increases if they take contraceptives or estrogen hormone treatment. Recent Studies revealed that 8% Indian Women Suffer from Gallstones. Age above 40, the more older the person higher the chances of gallstones. Liver diseases like Scarring of liver(Cirrhosis) Alcohol related Liver disease . If Close relative have had Gallstones, Obesity Etc etc.
Gall Stones treatment depends on how the pain of attacks affects a person routine life. As longer as u go without pain and Gallstones dont block biliary tract, theres no need for immediate treatment, regardless u dont have other risk factors like Liver Cirhosis n all. These Symptomless Gallstones can b called Silent gallstones.
. But if the pain in upper right quadrant of abdomen occurs more frequently n severely n lasts for few hours then it means the Stones obstruct the biliary tract causing inflammation n infections(Biliary Colic) n needs immediate intervention. There is possibility that the Stone may pass n obstruct the biliary tract branches, down the intestine, causing Complications like Pancreatis. At this Stage ERCP has to b performed to remove the Stone.
So if U dont have much pain and Symptoms like Nausea ,Vomiting, fever (even a low grade one) , Jaundice like signs Yellowish Skin n congunctiva ( eye whites) , Tea coloured Urine and White Stools........ U dont need much treatment. U may only need to take painkillers n Follow Stict Diet in order to avoid Gallstone attacks.
... But if U experience Severe n Frequent pain , Then Surgery Cholecystectomy( Complete removal of Gall bladder)is Recommended in order to avoid any further Complications. ( No need to panic) Today the Surgery is performed by Laproscopy which is minimal invasive Surgery n with easy recovery. As Gallblader is not essential organ n one can live healthy n active without it.
There are Ayurvedic medicines which can Control n Flush out ur GallStones but Frankly Speaking, Stones as u mentioned are large sizes. So it may take 6 mts or 1 yr to dissolve it.
Hope u got much much info beyond ur expectation .
