While eating, the body begins the process of producing bile and discharging it into the duodenum. This secret plays a big role in the functioning of the entire digestion. When a person is healthy, bile consists almost entirely of water; another component in a small amount is cholesterol. Violation of the composition of bile occurs under the influence of various reasons, mostly they indicate serious diseases. Bile precipitates. In the absence of timely corrective measures, sand and stones may form, which are difficult to get rid of.
Symptoms and treatment of sand in the gallbladder
Reasons for education
Bile contains cholesterol, bile acids, soluble calcium salts, and bilirubin. Violation of the correct concentration of a certain substance causes sand to appear. It is formed when the acidity of bile shifts to the acidic side against the background of stagnation and disturbances in the removal of secretions.
Pathological disorders are provoked by the following factors:
- unbalanced diet;
- bad habits, lack of exercise;
- lack of vitamins in the body.
Harmful foods for gastrointestinal tract
Cholesterol enters the body through fried foods and animal fats. Its excess content provokes the formation of sand. Subsequently, cholesterol stones are formed from it.
The causes are often inflammation in the liver, which increases the bilirubin content, leading to the appearance of sand and stones.
Stagnation of bile can be caused by the following factors:
- inflammation in the bladder;
- adhesions;
- obstructions in the bile ducts.
Congestion is also often diagnosed in obese people due to lack of physical activity.
Physiologically, the composition of bile can also change under the influence of female sex hormones - estrogens, since they inhibit the process of bile acid synthesis. In this regard, the reason may even be due to the use of oral hormonal contraceptives.
