What should be done for a gallbladder full of stones?

Generally, gallbladder full-type stones may be caused by factors such as dietary habits, poor hygiene practices, abnormal bile secretion, cholecystitis, and biliary tract obstruction. When the above conditions occur, treatment under a doctor's guidance may include general management, medication, and other approaches. A detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Dietary Habits

High-fat and high-cholesterol diets can increase cholesterol saturation in bile, promoting the formation of gallbladder full-type stones. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and adopt a healthy lifestyle.

2. Poor Hygiene Habits

Neglecting food hygiene or improper oral care may allow bacteria to enter the biliary tract, altering bile composition and leading to the aforementioned symptoms. It is recommended to maintain good hygiene practices, ensure safe and sanitary eating habits, and practice proper oral hygiene.

3. Abnormal Bile Secretion

Irregular eating patterns and other factors may disrupt the balance of components in bile—such as cholesterol, bile salts, and lecithin—leading to bile supersaturation, which may result in gallbladder full-type stones. Adjusting dietary habits and reducing intake of high-fat foods are advisable.

4. Cholecystitis

Cholecystitis may be associated with infections, low immunity, and other factors, potentially causing inflammation of the gallbladder wall and changes in bile composition, thereby contributing to stone formation. Symptoms often include fever and pain. Patients should follow medical advice and use medications such as cefuroxime axetil tablets, levofloxacin hydrochloride tablets, and metronidazole tablets for treatment.

5. Biliary Tract Obstruction

Biliary tract obstruction may be caused by inflammation or congenital bile duct narrowing. Cellular debris and inflammatory mediators during the inflammatory process may serve as nuclei for stone formation, promoting the development of gallbladder full-type stones. Symptoms commonly include jaundice and skin itching. Patients should take medications such as Danshi Tong Capsules, Dan Ning Tablets, and Danshi Litong Tablets under a doctor’s guidance to improve their condition.

In daily life, attention should be paid to adjusting dietary structure, reducing intake of high-fat foods, undergoing regular physical examinations, and promptly identifying and managing related diseases to reduce the risk of stone formation.
