Gall Stone / Cholelithiasis

Stones forming in the gall bladder are usually of 3 types, either cholesterol stones or stones made of some pigments found in the liver or mixed stones.

The exact cause of gallstones is not known but it is more common in females especially above the age of fifty, in those who are obese with a high level of blood cholesterol. Many a times these stones cause no problems & are detected accidentally on an abdominal sonography.

However symptoms when present can be of many types. It could be just recurrent episodes of indigestion & flatulence with slight abdominal pain or frequent backpains on the right side or at times acute attacks of severe abdominal pain which makes the patient very restless. This usually occurs when the stone moves from the gall bladder to the bile duct & causes obstruction.

Gallstones can cause complications in the form of obstruction of the bile duct leading to severe pain & jaundice or recurrent attacks of acute inflammation of the gall bladder itself or a thickened, shrunken & malfunctioning gall bladder. Usually surgery is advised & the gallbladder is removed.

If homeopathic treatment is started early enough in the course if the disease, complications & surgery can be avoided.

The various methods of treating gall stones can be by breaking the stone so that stone material completely breaks down into very small particles and is able to move out easily.

The other methods include flushing out all dissolved particles and preventing microbial growth in the biliary tracts. Homeopathy also removes the tendency to form stones.
