Deformation of the gallbladder - the collective name of such changes in the position of the organ, as the bend of the body of the bladder, twisting the neck, bending, constriction, protrusion of the walls, etc.
This disease is most often exposed to the elderly. But sometimes deformation of the gallbladder can occur in younger people as a result of kidney diseases.
Causes of Gallbladder Deformation
As mentioned above, signs of gallbladder deformation are most often characteristic of the elderly due to the ablation of the abdominal organs.
At a younger age, such diseases can also provoke a deformity of the body, such as:
- chronic cholecystitis ;
- increase in the size of the gallbladder;
- blockage of the bile ducts;
- adhesive process in the bladder;
- neoplasms;
- inflammation of the gallbladder walls;
- diaphragmatic weakness.
Lifting weights, injuries of the abdominal cavity - all this can also cause a violation of the shape and position of the gallbladder.
It should be noted that variants of an individual congenital anomaly of the gallbladder are also possible. This type of deformation often does not affect the life of a person.
Symptoms and consequences of pathology
Symptoms of gallbladder deformation are most often manifested after stress, eating disorders, drinking alcohol, etc. They are expressed as:
- digestive disorders;
- pain in the right side of the body (hypochondrium, scapula, sternum, intestine) after eating;
- sensation of dull or drawing pain after active physical activity (running, fast walking).
Deformation caused by the inflammatory process in the gallbladder, manifested in increased sweating, skin becomes gray, the mouth constantly feels the taste of bitterness, there is weakness.
In some cases, for example, when the neck of the gallbladder is twisted, tissue necrosis and the release of bile into the abdominal cavity may occur with time. In this case, the person feels sharp attacks of pain and nausea, the temperature rises.
Consequences of deformation of the gallbladder can be:
- enlargement of the liver;
- the formation of gallstones;
- icteric manifestations;
- perforation of the bladder;
- pancreatitis;
- the occurrence of gastric and intestinal diseases.
Treatment of gallbladder deformity
The main point in the treatment is the diet. In the acute period, it is preferable to eat milk-curd products. With sluggish disease, you must adhere to a balanced diet. Should be abandoned fatty, smoked, canned and spicy food. It is necessary to supplement the diet with products with choleretic effect:
- vegetable oils (olive, peanut, corn, sunflower);
- greens (spinach, dill, rhubarb, celery);
- vegetables (carrots, cabbage, tomatoes);
- juices (beet, cabbage, cowberry, grape, black radish).
In addition, the diet for deformation of the gallbladder can be supplemented with the infusion of dog rose, the root of barberry, immortelle or mint. It is recommended to drink them half an hour before meals 3-4 times a day.
A reasonable physical load, especially on the muscles of the abdominal press, also stimulates the outflow of bile. Very good breathing exercises.
The use of drugs in the deformation of the gallbladder should be under strict medical supervision. As a rule, cholagogue preparations and antispasmodics are used. In the case of an inflammatory process, it is possible to administer antibiotics together with probiotics.
In particularly severe cases of gallbladder deformity, surgical intervention may be required.
In addition to taking medications, it is possible to connect physiotherapy procedures:
- electrophoresis;
- DMV-therapy;
- applications of paraffin;
- magnetotherapy ;
- bathrooms with coniferous extracts.
Often recommend spa treatment to stimulate immunity.
