How to treat gallstones?
For the treatment of gallbladder stones, the approach mainly depends on whether there are symptoms or not. For patients with asymptomatic gallstones, which are relatively small in size, they are often found during ultrasonography and do not require special treatment. Regular follow-up ultrasonography is conducted to dynamically observe changes in size. Of course, diet should also avoid spicy and stimulating foods to reduce inflammatory stimulation and avoid foods high in cholesterol and fats, focusing on a light diet, which can alleviate symptom flare-ups and control the condition. For patients with larger gallstones who often experience discomfort and pain in the upper right abdomen, early surgical treatment should be pursued, as surgery is the only way to achieve a cure and can significantly improve the patient's quality of life.
