Normally it is considered to be a
surgical condition, but homoeopathy has very good results in treating
such patients, and depending on the case all patients of Gall stones
need not to undergo Surgery. Gallstones are clumps of crystallized
cholesterol or some pigments in the gallbladder. The condition is
common (11% of population) and more commonly observed in females.
(Medical dictum is: Its a disease of fat female of forty). Gallbladder
is a small sac situated just under the liver and produces bile juice
that is essential for proper digestion of fats.
Many patients having gallstones may
not have any complaint. However, some may experience Colicky Pain
in the upper abdomen radiating to the back. The pain may last up
to 2-6 hours and usually associated with vomitings.
All the factors that form stone are
present in the bile under normal circumstances; however, they are
in a dissolved state. If there is increase in concentration of cholesterol
or pigments, they crystallize and precipitate out as stones. Factors
such as increasing age, pregnancy, obesity, liver disorders, infections
can have impact on development of gallstones. Some studies suggest
that genetics and heredity factors are at the root of this condition
that makes one prone to have gallstones.
Homeopathic treatment: When the stones
are of smaller size, homoeopathy medicines will help in the dissolution
of stones and passage of the stone. Homoeopathy medicines are effective
in alleviating pain associated with the condition. It the stones
are bigger, multiple, and impacted, it may require surgical intervention.
But even after surgical removal of stones, homoeopathy still has
a role to play in preventing its recurrence (as the chance of having
recurring stones are about 50%).
