An office lady was enjoying hot pot when she suddenly had a severe stomachache! The doctor who operated on her gallbladder was shocked to find “stones” gushing out like caviar.
ETtoday reported that a 42-year-old Taiwanese woman went out to eat hot pot with her girlfriends, but after the meal, she had continuous pain in her right abdomen. When it was discovered that she had acute inflammation of the gallstones, the doctor immediately performed surgery.
However, when the gallbladder was opened, many small black stones were found to have burst out like caviar. Causing the doctor to be shocked and say, “Countless! There are hundreds or thousands of them!”
Dr. Wu Bai-xuan, chief of the Department of General Surgery and Gastroenterology at Kaohsiung Gangshan Hospital, who performed the surgery. Said that while performing the surgery on Mr. Wang, a 42-year-old office worker. He was shocked when he opened his gallbladder and found a huge amount of black gallstones, packed like caviar, almost bursting out.
The removed stones covered an area of 10×7 centimeters, which is considered unusually large. Fortunately, treatment was prompt, otherwise serious complications such as peritonitis or blood infection could have occurred.
Dr. Wu Baixuan said that cases of gallstones in the gallbladder that are so dense and look like caviar are rare. It is thought to be related to the patient’s physical condition and gallbladder contraction.
If the gallbladder does not contract regularly or is not drained properly, excessively concentrated bile will remain inside and form bile sludge, which may eventually develop into gallstones.
Dr. Wu Baixuan explains that the gallbladder’s function is to store and concentrate bile to help digest fat in food. When we eat food that is high in fat, fried food, or spicy food. The gallbladder contracts and sends bile to the small intestine to help digest.
However, if the gallstones block the gallbladder outlet and prevent bile from draining. It may result in repeated and more severe pain, leading to acute inflammation.
In addition, frequent empty stomachs for long periods of time, hormonal changes in pregnant women, and high cholesterol and insulin levels in obese people. Which reduce the contraction of the gallbladder, are all factors that cause bile retention and lead to the เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง formation of gallstones.
Dr. Wu Baixuan cautions that gallstones are often mistaken for stomach pain. Some patients take antacids but do not get better, or have a gastric bypass that does not detect any abnormalities.
