This method cannot eliminate intrahepatic bile duct stones.

The treatment for intrahepatic bile duct stones mainly depends on the symptoms. For patients with intrahepatic bile duct stones who do not have significant symptoms and whose stones are relatively small, no special treatment is required. Avoiding spicy and irritating foods in the diet can reduce inflammatory stimuli and better control the condition. Regular follow-up with ultrasonography is sufficient.

However, for patients with larger intrahepatic bile duct stones, acute cholangitis may occur, presenting with significant upper abdominal pain. In such cases, proactive treatment is necessary. The treatment mainly involves surgery, which can significantly improve the prognosis and potentially cure the condition.
