19-year-old Xiao Li's first job after coming out of his hometown was as a delivery boy, and on this day, he received his first order.
After washing up at about six o'clock in the morning, he rode an electric car from near his home to the office building near the CBD, where there are many people who work every morning, most of them are Xi to order breakfast takeout, the weather in December is very cold, Xiao Li's hands are red from the cold, thinking that he can make money to support his family, his heart is still warm.
Because there are a lot of orders in the morning, Xiao Li doesn't eat breakfast, he thinks that eating will not only waste time, but also a bit of a waste of money, and he doesn't know when to start eating breakfast will make him feel bloated, so he didn't eat breakfast this morning, and started the day's work directly, in fact, he started to skip breakfast a long time ago, and the impact on his body was relatively small.
About two or three months have passed, one day at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the list was significantly reduced, and Xiao Li finally finished the morning takeout delivery, feeling a little hungry. He found a wonton shop that he often eats, and is ready to eat something to cushion his stomach and warm his stomach by the way.
However, when he finished his first bite, a severe abdominal pain hit him instantly, and he fell off the stool holding his stomach, "screaming" in pain, and beads of sweat continued to flow out.
The owner of the wonton shop was startled, thinking that he had food poisoning, and immediately called 120 ambulance to rescue Xiao Li, just now, there was a tertiary hospital nearby, they quickly got out of the car, and took Xiao Li over, after an emergency examination, the doctor found that Xiao Li's gallbladder volume had become significantly larger, and the gallbladder wall had thickened a lot, and the most important thing was that Xiao Li's gallbladder stones seemed to have fallen into the bile ducts, inducing obstructive jaundice.
The doctor immediately made a decision and performed surgery to remove common bile duct stones under duodenoscopy, and the operation was very successful, but the doctor told Xiao Li that although the stones were temporarily removed, considering that there were many gallstones in his gallbladder, it was strongly recommended that Xiao Li remove his gallbladder to avoid further gallbladder disease.
Hearing what the doctor said, Xiao Li was hesitant all of a sudden, not because he was worried about the lack of money, but because he was afraid that removing the gallbladder would have an impact on his body.
The doctor said that the function of the gallbladder is only to concentrate and store bile, which is mainly produced by the liver and has little to do with the gallbladder. Moreover, from the imaging point of view, Xiao Li's gallbladder has many gallstones, which has basically lost the function of the gallbladder, so in his case, the removal of the gallbladder is basically harmless to the body.
Moreover, if the useless gallbladder is not removed in time, there are many harms in the future:
First, cholecystitis attacks.
Stones block the gallbladder outlet, causing bile to be unable to drain smoothly and causing cholecystitis. Cholecystitis can cause swelling, inflammation and infection of the gallbladder, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, even purulent cholecystitis.
Second, gallbladder voiditis/gallbladder perforation.
Gallstones that irritate the gallbladder wall for a long time can cause gallbladder wall inflammation and eventually gallbladder perforation. A gallbladder perforation is a rupture of the gallbladder wall, allowing bile to flow into the abdominal cavity, causing peritonitis and abdominal infection, which can be life-threatening in severe cases.
Third, biliary stones.
Sometimes gallstones can move from the gallbladder into the bile ducts to cause obstruction, leading to cholangitis and jaundice. This can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, etc., which need to be treated promptly.
Fourth, gallbladder cancer risk.
Long-standing stones significantly increase the risk of gallbladder cancer because stones that irritate the gallbladder wall can cause an inflammatory response, and long-standing inflammation may promote the development of cancer.
The long-term existence of gallstones will affect the contraction and emptying function of the gallbladder, and bile will stay in the gallbladder for a longer time, which may increase the damage and carcinogenesis of the gallbladder wall cells by harmful substances.
When gallstones block the bile ducts, bile does not flow smoothly, which can lead to cholangitis and jaundice, which may also increase the risk of cancer.
Chronic inflammation and long-term cholestasis can lead to fibrosis of the gallbladder wall, making cells more susceptible to cancer.
In the end, Xiao Li was still afraid that he would suffer from gallbladder cancer and agreed to the operation to remove the gallbladder. The operation uses very advanced fluorescence laparoscopic technology, mainly through special light, which allows the doctor to clearly see the patient's biliary structure, so as to operate accurately, this operation is done quickly and successfully.
After being hospitalized after surgery, the doctor told Xiao Li that after the gallbladder is removed, the bile duct will expand to a certain extent to compensate for the storage and concentration function of part of the gallbladder. It only takes a few months to recover, and his digestive function is basically back to normal.
Why skipping breakfast is easy to induce gallstones?
Our parents told us from a very young age that we must eat breakfast well, otherwise we will feel unwell and sick, and most children choose to ignore their parents' words and skip breakfast for a long time, which eventually induces gallstone disease.
1. Skipping breakfast will increase the buildup of bile.
There are about more than ten hours of not eating from dinner to breakfast, and not eating for a long time will induce an increase in the concentration of bile salts and cholesterol in the bile, which is easy to form crystals, and after the crystals become more, it will cause gallstones, and when you skip breakfast, the time for bile to accumulate in the gallbladder will be prolonged.
The gallbladder is gradually emptied on an empty stomach, but without the stimulation of eating, the contractile function of the gallbladder is inhibited, causing bile to remain in the gallbladder for a longer time. In this way, the concentration of substances such as bile salts and cholesterol gradually increases.
If you don't eat for a long time, the gallbladder wall muscles will not get normal contractile movements, and the contractile function of the gallbladder may be affected. The contraction of the gallbladder helps to push bile out of the gallbladder, keeping the flow of bile properly. If the gallbladder does not contract well, bile accumulates in the gallbladder for a longer period of time, making it easy to form crystals and stones.
Always skipping breakfast, the body will continue to consume energy, including substances such as cholesterol. Since cholesterol is an important component of bile, the consumption of cholesterol can lead to an increase in the concentration of cholesterol in bile, increasing the risk of stone formation.
2. The contractile function of the gallbladder is impaired.
Skipping breakfast, the bile in the gallbladder is always at rest, and the contractile function of the gallbladder wall muscles is not fully exercised and trained, which may lead to impaired function of the gallbladder wall muscles, thereby promoting the formation of gallstones.
Therefore, if you always skip breakfast for a long time, the normal function of the gallbladder will be affected, which will induce the formation and development of gallstones, and lay the foundation for cholecystitis, gallbladder enlargement, and infection.
What can I do to prevent gallstones?
First of all, have a balanced diet.
Maintain a balanced diet Xi adequate dietary fibre and water. Doctors recommend that everyone eat more vegetables, fruits, whole grains and other fiber-rich foods, limit high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, and avoid overeating.
Controlling your intake of cholesterol is beneficial in reducing the amount of cholesterol in your body, which is one of the main components of gallstones. By choosing foods that are low in fat and cholesterol, cholesterol accumulation can be reduced and the risk of gallstones can be reduced.
It can also provide enough fiber, and a balanced diet is often rich in dietary fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Dietary fiber contributes to the proper functioning of the digestive system, including the contraction of the gallbladder and the flow of bile. Dietary fiber can also help regulate blood sugar and cholesterol levels and prevent the formation of gallstones.
Second, eat regularly.
Maintain a regular and regular eating Xi. Eat three meals a day regularly and quantitatively, do not skip meals, and avoid long-term fasting or excessive satiety, so as to maintain the normal contraction and emptying function of the gallbladder.
Third, exercise more.
Moderate exercise helps to promote the secretion and flow of bile, improve the body's metabolic level, and help prevent the occurrence of gallstones.
Fourth, drink alcohol in moderation.
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to poor gallbladder contraction, increasing the risk of gallstones. Therefore, the amount of alcohol consumed should be limited.
All in all, people with irregular diet are very prone to gallstones and other gallbladder diseases, for the sake of safety, please ensure regular eating Xi, be good for your body, in this rapidly developing society, you do not take care of yourself, then the final result is to become the dust of the times, may you eat well every day.
