Gallstones: What are their causes and treatments?

Gallstones have become a common problem nowadays.

This is mainly due to the increased amount of fat content in our daily intake and eating in an untimely manner.

Treatment for gallstones

Some people might have asymptomatic gallstones and they may be diagnosed when they were scanning for some other purpose.

If the gallstones cause problems like pain or if the gallstones are bigger than 5mm then surgery might be needed. Only 1-2% of the people with gallstones might need surgery. If proper treatment is not done, the stones can cause jaundice or pancreatitis.

Women are more prone to developing gallstones and hence regular scanning is important to identify the problem. If the stones are small, it is possible to dissolve them using medication given by the gastroenterology doctors.
