How to properly clean the liver
To prevent stagnation of bile and dyskinesia of the bile excretory system, the following procedure can be performed. In the language of doctors it is called tyubazh. It is done this way: you drink a glass of any warm mineral water (better magnesium, since it stimulates the bile excretory system more strongly) and lie on your right side, putting the heating pad on the liver for half an hour-hour. The first month is worth doing every 7-10 days, then once a month. Of course, cleansing the liver has a healing effect, especially in people with congestive bile duct disease, hypotonic dyskinesia. Then in the gall bladder all the time there is stasis of bile, and it stretches. No matter how much people eat, the residual bile still remains, everything does not go away. And now, thanks to this system of powerful influence on the gallbladder, the liver is cleaned, it causes the liver to work more intensively on the synthesis of bile.
Doing cleaning of the liver more often than once a year is not recommended, since any cleansing, regardless of the technique, is a very strong load on the bile excretory system, so they are contraindicated for cholelithiasis. But do many people clean the liver and gallbladder under the supervision of a doctor and do an ultrasound before that to find out the presence of stones or sand, which during cleaning can also cause strong pain. As a result, instead of improving health, all ends with hospitalization. Those who conduct cleaning in the clinic, risk much less.
How to get rid of stones
If the stones have already appeared, it is necessary to undergo a course of treatment, to get rid of the stones. Gallstone disease is dangerous for its complications - primarily inflammations of the biliary tract, and up to the gall bladder rupture. However, all these serious consequences can be avoided, because the diagnosis of cholelithiasis is well-worked out today and early detection of the bile excreting system is possible. First, using ultrasound examination of the abdominal organs: ultrasound shows the presence of both stones and sand, which indicates a violation of the composition of bile and the pathology of the bile excretory system. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging are all methods that can detect the presence of stones, their number and size in a timely and accurate manner. Biochemical research of liver functions is very important. Using this method, it is possible to detect elevated levels of bilirubin, cholesterol, and other indicators of pigment metabolism disorders. Then, to date, some institutions still use the study of the function of the bile excretory system with the help of probe methods.
Operations can be avoided
Stones with cholelithiasis are of several types: cholesterol, bilirubin and calcium salt-mixed. With the help of a combination of ultrasound and X-ray study, you can determine what kind of stones it is. If ultrasound reveals the presence of stones, and on X-ray they are not visible, it means that the patient is lucky - these are cholesterol stones, which can be dissolved with the help of modern methods of drug therapy. To date, doctors have such funds! If it's bilirubin or mixed stones, surgical treatment is shown, as today science can not dissolve these stones. You can, of course, try to work on the cholesteric component of mixed stones, then there is a chance that they will disintegrate and turn into sand - but no one will give a guarantee that there will be complete disposal of the stones. There is a risk that, as a result, smaller stones will cause blockage of the bile duct. In general, everything here is very individual, as with any other disease.
Operative treatment is not to be feared: after it a person can live perfectly fully. After all, the gallbladder is just a reservoir for collecting bile and does not produce bile. To date, there are two types of operations to remove the gallbladder: laparotomic (with the opening of the abdominal cavity) and laparoscopic, when the gallbladder is removed by forceps through a small incision. All patients ask for the latest version of the surgery, since no one wants to have a large scar in a prominent place, but this kind of operation can not be done by everyone! The first contraindication is obesity. Second - the presence of small stones, because here the stone can already be in the bile duct, and if the surgeon does not feel it with his fingers and does not remove, the operation will be ineffective and serious complications will arise. So, trust a specialist and agree with what you are offered.
Medicines should appoint a doctor!
Many people right at the pharmacy are advised to use such popular means as LIV 52, Essentiale etc. from the liver, they do not dissolve stones, but they improve the energy potential of the liver. These are the so-called hepatoprotectors. Each cell of the liver contains a complex of enzymes that work, turning hemoglobin into bilirubin, and this is an energy process, that is, energy is spent on carrying out reactions inside the cell. If there is little energy, for example, with fatty liver disease, the energy potential of its cells is significantly reduced and this requires restoration. However, and I want to emphasize this, if you want to maintain a healthy liver, then even seemingly innocuous medications you should not take without the appointment of a doctor! Self-medication with any medications, especially with cholelithiasis, is very dangerous. You must always consult a specialist - gastroenterologist.
