Source: The Spleen and Stomach Road
When it comes to gallstones, the main thing is surgery and conservative treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. What kind of gallstone patients are suitable for conservative treatment?
1. Digestive tract symptoms are obvious
Many patients with gallstones become ill. Patients with this problem should be more involved in traditional Chinese medicine.
Because although gallstones are diseased in the gallbladder, they are also directly related to the damage of the liver and spleen. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and stomach so that the function of the spleen and stomach can be restored, so that there will be no continued discomfort.
2. Recurrent cholecystitis.
When gallstone patients eat some greasy food, or drink alcohol, or are usually worried, it will cause cholecystitis to recur.
In traditional Chinese medicine, it is often said that eating uncontrolled diet, eating fat, sweet and thick flavors will damage the spleen and stomach, so that the spleen and stomach will lose the right to transport, and emotional irritability will lead to liver qi stasis. The liver and gallbladder protection will also affect the function of the gallbladder.
At this time, if you want to solve the problem of recurrent cholecystitis, you must treat the symptoms of liver and gallbladder or liver and spleen to solve it fundamentally.
Medical case
I have a patient with gallstones, and I found that for two years, whenever I was in a bad mood, I would have pain in my right abdomen, and I didn't sleep very well, I often couldn't sleep, and I had problems such as dry mouth and not liking to eat.
Traditional Chinese medicine often says that emotional discomfort will lead to liver qi discomfort. When the liver is out of balance, diarrhea is unfavorable, long-term stasis will cause fire, heat and bile, and gallstones will form over time. However, if the dampness and stasis are not passed, the pain will be repeated, especially when the mood is bad, the pain is very obvious.
There is heat in the liver and gallbladder, and excessive transpiration of this fluid in the body will also cause the fluid to be unable to be transmitted to the mouth, and there will be dry mouth and bitter mouth. Liver stagnation and qi stagnation will also cause damage to the spleen and stomach, and some people will feel poor appetite. It will also affect the mind, and insomnia will occur.
For such patients, it is mainly to relieve the liver and regulate qi, choleretic and dampness.
In terms of medication, it is mainly used:
Bupleurum, green bark, woody fragrance--- soothing liver and gallbladder reliever.
Citrus aurantium, white peony, Yanhusuo, magnolia officinalis--- soothe the liver and relieve abdominal pain.
Use Banxia, Codonopsis, and tangerine peel to regulate qi and stomach and spleen ---- eliminate food.
Use dandelion --- to clean up damp heat, choleretic and anti-inflammatory.
Corrugated --- relieves soreness and pain.
After taking the drug for a period of time, the patient reported that the abdominal pain was significantly relieved, the dry mouth and bitterness basically disappeared, the sleep also improved, and the eating situation was much better than before.
After a few months of consolidation, the patient's uncomfortable symptoms basically disappeared, and no stones were found in the gallbladder after B-ultrasound reexamination.
In the process of conditioning, patients also need to cooperate with two points: the first is to adjust their emotions, and the second is to adjust their diet in order to recover as soon as possible.
