Symptoms of Gallbladder Stone

Article by alice rose

Cholelithiasis also known is Gallbladder. Gallstones are concretions that form in the biliary tract, usually in the gallbladder. Gallstones are formed within the gallbladder, an organ that stores bile excreted from the liver. Further complications of gallbladder disease include gallstone pancreatitis, gallstone ileus, biliary cirrhosis, and gallbladder cancer. Gallbladder disease is one of the leading causes of problems with digestion that result in hospital admissions. Did you know that around 10% of the population (on average) in most Western countries has gallstones? Most of these are “silent” but about 4% of patients with stones develop symptoms each year.

A gallbladder can develop gallstones, polyps or even cancer.if you are having a gallbladder attack it can be caused when the the gallbladder becomes too thick and the gallbladder blocks the passing of bile. Gallstones can be caused by too much cholesterol in your diet or the hormone estrogen. Diet plays a big role because you find gastric cancer very common in Japan, also in part of Africa where most people consume fast food chicken that is injected to mature in a month. However a report shows that the most fatal one globally is lung cancer.

There are several kinds of radishes in the world. In North America, we often think of the Cherry Belle variety that is red on the outside and white in the inside and is about an inch in diameter; but, there are many other kinds: the Daikon (originally from Japan), the Black Radish (excellent for your gallbladder), and the Red King, to name a few. if you are having gallbladder attack symptoms, you may not even know it. this is because the mild or moderate pain in the upper abdominal area on the right side can also be biliary problems. Other common symptoms of an attack include constipation, diarrhea, gas, nausea, belching, bitter fluid repeating after eating, trouble with inhaling deeply and vomiting.

The treatment of gallbladder problems is generally a simple thing. There are only a couple of things that can be done. if the pain is not that severe and if gallbladder attacks occur only infrequently, then an over the counter pain killing medication will suffice. if you have any gallbladder symptoms, you should take a close look at what you eat everyday. for example, cholesterol is the prime culprit in gallbladder disease. Although a very small amount of cholesterol is necessary for good health, your liver naturally produces all the cholesterol you will ever need.

Colon Cancer is one of the common cancers in western countries among men and women, but it is becoming more reported in the Middle East as well. In 2007, it was the second reported cancer, according to the UAE ministry of health.

It is not fully well determined what causes colon cancer, but several factors including genetic predisposition, environmental, dietary aspects, and certain long standing chronic bowel inflammatory diseases may play a role or increases its incidence in certain groups.

Though genetic predispositions and syndromes are well-established causes of colon cancer, they represent only a small fraction of the total colon cancer incidence, and the large majority of cases occur in individuals with no family history of colon tumors.

Colon cancer starts as a small pre-cancerous lesion called polyp (small, grapelike growths on the lining of the colon), which may grow in size and may progress with time to become cancerous; this process may take an average of 10 years for the transformation.

Colon cancer is highly preventable. Screening tests like colonoscopy may detect polyps and their removal in early stages before complete evolution to cancer could save lives. Screening starts at age 50 for average risk patients except in some instances of high risk groups, where it is recommended to do the screening at an early age.

Other methods of colon cancer screening include: limited left colon examination (sigmoidoscopy), virtual colonoscopy, Barium enema, and fecal occult blood detection tests. Colonoscopy is more superior as a diagnostic tool and it also offers the therapeutic intervention advantage of removing any existing pre-cancerous colon polyps at the time of the examination.

Colonoscopy can be done by specialists (Gastroenterologists) trained to perform this procedure on an outpatient basis. Patients usually receive some intravenous sedation and mild anesthesia which allow for a pain-free examination. the complication rate in this procedure is rare, especially when conducted by experts.

Patients with colon cancer may present with some common non specific symptoms but usually as a new pattern occurring over weeks to months, which include altered bowel habits, or abdominal pain, and unexplained weight loss.

More alarming symptoms may include rectal bleeding or iron deficiency anemia, and that usually alerts the patient to seek medical advice and do further investigations like colonoscopy to identify the etiology and rectify it, if possible. however, the majority of pre-cancerous lesions, polyps and early cancer are discovered in asymptomatic patients during routine colon cancer screening tests.

Colon cancer has different stages, and when detected and treated in early stages (stage I and II) usually has very good prognosis and cure rate.

Colon cancer is a deadly disease especially in advanced stages, however it is preventable by implementing colon cancer screening tests to detect and treat early lesions and cancer, and achieve long term drop of its incidence, in order to save lives.
