Gallstones are solid particles that formed in the gallbladder, and can cause a lot of discomfort, pain, and serious health problems if untreated. If you are looking for gall bladder stone treatment in Bangalore, then this guide will help you understand the condition, the treatments available, and how AV Hospital can help you attain better health.

What Are Gallstones?

The gallbladder is a small organ situated beneath the liver, which stores bile, a digestive fluid. Gallstones are these hardened deposits that form inside the gallbladder, usually composed of cholesterol or bilirubin.

There are two broad types of gallstones:

Cholesterol Gallstones: These are the most common, usually made of excess cholesterol. 

Pigment Gallstones: These are smaller and darker. They are formed from excess bilirubin, which is produced when the liver breaks down old red blood cells.

Signs And Symptoms Of Gallstones 

Gallstones may remain asymptomatic, but cholelithiasis (another term for gallstone disease) may arise when symptoms do manifest. Typical symptoms would include:

Acute pain, usually in the upper right quadrant or the middle of the abdomen

Nausea and vomiting

Indigestion or bloating after meals

Fever or chills - if an infectious process is on-going

Jaundice - skin or eyes turning yellow

If these signs appear, please consider visiting the doctor to get a proper diagnosis.  

Gall Bladder Stone Treatment in Bangalore 

The treatment of gallstones depends on the size, type, and severity of the symptoms. Here are the most common treatment options available for you:

1. Non-Surgical Treatment (For Small or Asymptomatic Stones)

Medications: In some cases, physicians prescribe drugs that dissolve gallstones. However, this method is only effective for cholesterol-based gallstones and takes a long time for treatment. 

Shock Wave Lithotripsy: This is a non-invasive method wherein shock waves are used to fragment the stones into smaller ones for easy passage out of the body. Shock waves for this indication are getting less fair, and more common are indications for kidney stones. 

2. Operation-the Cholecystectomy

The most effective treatment for gallstones in symptomatic states with complication is gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy). 

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: This is the most common form of treatment, a minimally invasive procedure. The surgeon removes the gallbladder through small incisions in the abdomen while using a camera (laparoscope) to guide the surgery. Advantages are:

Minimal scarring.

Shorter recovery time.

Less risk of infection.

Open Cholecystectomy: This is a classical surgery used if laparoscopic surgery cannot be performed due to complications; the gallbladder is then removed by way of a larger incision. The recovery period is longer when compared to laparoscopic surgery.

When to Operate for Gallstones?

Generally, the surgeon may recommend an intervention in the presence of:

Acute Symptoms: Surgery is the best option when gallstones are causing severe pain, nausea, or vomiting. 

Clinical Complications: When the gallstones cause infections, obstructed ducts, or inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), surgery is indicated. 

Recurrent Gallstones: If you have frequent episodes of gallstone symptoms, having your gallbladder removed can prevent any further attacks.

How is the Diagnosis of Gallstones Done?

To make a diagnosis, your doctor may recommend:

Ultrasound: The most commonly and widely used test to detect gallstones. It employs sound waves to obtain images of the gallbladder.

CT Scan: Sometimes CT scanning is performed to obtain detailed images of the gallbladder area.

Blood Tests: Tests that help detect infections, abnormalities in liver functioning, and certain indicators of bile duct obstruction. 

Recovery After Gallbladder Stone Treatment 

Patients treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy go home on the same day or the next day and return to normal activity within 2 to 4 weeks. 

Open cholecystectomy entails 4 to 6 weeks of recovery, with an average hospital stay of a few days.
