I haven't talked about gallbladder polyps in a long time, and this is one of the most seen polyps in my clinic. Many of them have already removed the gallbladder because of polyps, but they still have problems such as indigestion and pain in the ribs, so they come to see me. So, patients with gallbladder polyps or gallstones, as long as the gallbladder is removed, can they really sit back and relax?
Are patients with gallbladder polyps and gallstones relieved to have their gallbladder removed?
The conclusion depends on the situation, gallbladder polyps or gallstone patients, many people even if the gallbladder is removed, there will be bloating and indigestion and other symptoms, this situation I recommend continuing to receive Chinese medicine treatment.
I have encountered many of these patients in my clinic, and some people have worsened their digestive symptoms after surgical removal of the gallbladder, which Western medicine calls post-cholecystectomy syndrome.
The proportion of postoperative syndromes after gallbladder surgery is quite large, and researchers have specifically calculated that 25% to 40% of patients will have this problem after losing the gallbladder. Some Western doctors believe that this postoperative syndrome is caused by the failure of surgery, while Chinese medicine believes that this problem cannot be solved with a scalpel.
The formation of gallbladder polyps and gallstones is often the result of hepatosplenic disharmony or hepatobiliary damp heat, although the scalpel cuts off the gallbladder with the stones and polyps, but it cannot resolve the fundamental problem of forming the disease.
The appearance of cholecystectomy syndrome, that is, the body prompts us that there is still a root cause of the disease that has not been removed, we should see a professional Chinese medicine in time, accept reasonable treatment, if negligent, it is possible to lay hidden dangers for more serious and complex diseases.
If a postoperative syndrome occurs after cholecystectomy, how should Chinese medicine regulate it?
Post-cholecystectomy syndrome is met with a dialectical treatment based on the patient's symptoms. For example, if I clinically encounter patients with post-cholecystectomy syndrome, most of them are caused by hepatobiliary damp heat, so I generally use traditional Chinese medicine to be treated with fang da chai hu tang.
Patients with hepatobiliary damp fever will still show pain in the right ribs and right upper quadrant, as well as poor appetite, bloating, and even inexplicable irritability, jaundice, and fever.
The medicinal effect of Dachai Hu Tang is to reconcile Shaoyang and internal diarrhea, which can be said to be the root cause of the disease. Some doctors have specially treated patients with cholecystectomy syndrome based on Dachai Hu Tang, and collected and recorded nearly 100 case data, and found that the effective rate of the method was as high as 96.6%.
The reason for such a high efficiency, in addition to the potency of dachai hu soup, this doctor also added the two herbs of Yan Hu Suo and Sichuan Neem, which are used from the golden bell seed powder, which can dissolve the abdominal pain, rib pain and heart and chest pain of the liver depression fire type.
Of course, the above method is used to deal with the situation of hepatobiliary damp fever, the cause of the disease is different, the symptoms are different, and the treatment methods are naturally very different. It is recommended that patients with similar problems see a professional Chinese medicine doctor as soon as possible and treat them according to the disease.
