GALL BLADDER STONES WITH STONES SLIPPING IN THE CYSTIC DUCT.
I am 29 years old girl with a BMI of 30.
I am a banker with an average working more than 12 hours per day.
Yesterday night we had an evening dinner meeting at the office and suddenly after dinner, I started having pain in the epigastric region and bloating in my stomach. I thought it was some gastric problem and looked for antacids to relieve pain.
The next day morning, I got up with another bout of pain, vomiting, and loose motions. Now I decided to visit the hospital and I went to the emergency department at Max Hospital Saket, New Delhi. They evaluated my vitals and gave me some injections to relieve pain and vomiting.
To my relief, the doctor on duty informed Dr. Ashish Vashistha and the team for further evaluation to rule out gall bladder stones or appendicitis.
Ultrasound abdomen was done and they found out my Gall bladder full of stones and some stones/sludge in the cystic duct as well.
The Best Gallbladder surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Ashish Vashistha explained to me in detail –
Gallbladder stones are crystal-like substances made up of cholesterol or sometimes of bile and calcium. Gall bladder stones can vary in size from a tiny size of 2mm to as large as the size of a golf ball. Stones can be single or multiple.
The Best Gallbladder surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Ashish Vashistha explains that:-
Why do cholesterol stones form?
When bile contains too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts, cholesterol stones develop.
Sometimes bladder stones slip out of the gall bladder to a cystic duct or bile duct.
They may pass into the stomach and if their size is large can be struct in the cystic duct/bile duct.
The cystic duct /bile duct stones can cause agonizing pain and can be dangerous.
