Many carry stones with them and do not want to say goodbye to them. This will not always work.
If there is a stone in the gallbladder within one centimeter, then there is usually no harm from it. She lies there.
If the stone begins to move and provokes gall colic with pain and all such things, then the stone is said goodbye.
If a stone within one centimeter in size did not harm and would not block the bile ducts, then one could tolerate it and wait until it dissolves. And in the most favorable conditions, such a stone would dissolve for a year. You can live with him for a year.
If the stone in the gallbladder were two centimeters in size, then under the most successful coincidence of circumstances it would dissolve for two years. We would probably have lived with him for two years. Moreover, a large stone is less likely to clog something. He's too clumsy.
But there is another catch. The longer a large stone lies in the gallbladder, the higher the risk of developing gallbladder cancer. This is how it, our gallbladder, is arranged. The large stone causes him to regrow a malignant tumor.
With a stone measuring two centimeters, the risk of gallbladder cancer increases 2.4 times.
With a stone three centimeters in size, the risk of developing gallbladder cancer increases 10 times.
It's not cool anymore. Well, that is, we could have pulled ourselves together and would have waited three years to allow the stone to dissolve, but the cancer does not sleep and can kill us during this time.
And even more or less large stones can arrange a bedsore. Have you heard about bedsores in bedridden patients? The same story happens in the gallbladder.
A rolling stone gathers no moss. That is, blood does not enter the wall of the gallbladder if a stone is lying on it.
If you try very hard, the wall of the gallbladder will fall apart, and the stone will fall out. In the stomach. Sometimes the stone falls through the bedsore into the intestines and can come out. It's a funny thing. Only for the owner of the stone, this usually does not end very well.
Do you still grow stones? This is no longer fashionable.
