If the patient has gallbladder diseases, including recurrent biliary colic, bile duct stones, biliary pancreatitis, gallbladder atrophy, gallbladder-filled stones, etc., it is not conducive to health if surgical treatment is not carried out in time. Therefore, it is suggested that patients should undergo cholecystectomy as soon as possible to avoid serious complications and gallbladder canceration. Gallbladder is an organ for storing and concentrating bile, and bile will enter the intestine directly from bile duct after resection. If patients eat fatty foods, they may have symptoms such as fatty abdominal distension and indigestion, and they can be treated with drugs.
Some patients do have some discomfort after cholecystectomy, just like the gallbladder function I mentioned before; When you take out your gallbladder, some patients do have a certain degree of indigestion, for example, his digestive ability to protein diet and fat diet is slightly lower than before; Secondly, he may often have diarrhea and some related intestinal dysfunction, because he does not have an organ to store bile at this time, and his bile is discharged into the intestinal cavity at any time, which will lead to repeated diarrhea when the intestinal cavity is stimulated; Others often have dull pain in the right upper abdomen, which we call post-cholecystectomy syndrome. Although there is no exact disease, patients may experience dull pain in the right upper abdomen for a period of time after operation.
Gallbladder is an organ for storing and concentrating bile. A large amount of bile secreted by the liver will be concentrated and then enter the gallbladder. When the body needs bile to participate in digestion, gallbladder contraction will discharge the concentrated bile into the digestive tract, so a small number of patients may have digestive tract symptoms in a short period of time after cholecystectomy.
For example, after eating high-protein or high-fat food, patients may have abdominal distension or diarrhea, but after a period of adaptation and compensation, most patients will not feel any discomfort and will not have any sequelae. Of course, it is not excluded that very few patients will have persistent diarrhea or abdominal distension, but the possibility is very small.
The gallbladder to be removed is generally a diseased gallbladder, and many gallbladder have lost their normal function, so patients who have removed the gallbladder in this case generally have no side effects, because the body has adapted to the long-term low gallbladder function.
