Too busy working always skip breakfast? Beware of gallstones
If you eat breakfast on time, your gallbladder will contract to expel the bile, so you should remember to eat breakfast no matter how busy you are.
Gallstones, as the name implies, are stones that grow in the biliary system. They are as hard as stones, and their repeated irritation can cause inflammation and biliary obstruction, resulting in abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, and other symptoms.
Why is the incidence of gallstones so high? Huang Youxing, director of abdominal surgery at University Hospital of Guangdong Province, pointed out that the high incidence of gallstones is inseparable from people’s daily habits, of which skipping breakfast is a relatively important cause of gallstones. The normal regular contraction of the gallbladder has a lot to do with regular eating and the type of food that is eaten.
Under normal circumstances, the human liver will continue to secrete bile, about 800-1200 ml per day, when entering the sleep state, no food, the gallbladder will be in a full state, there are many concentrated bile, if not properly discharged, bile is too concentrated, it is easy to form crystals, that is, the core of the formation of stones, the accumulation of stones continue to grow, it will endanger human health. If you eat breakfast on time, your gallbladder will contract to expel the bile, so you should remember to eat breakfast no matter how busy you are.
Who are more likely to be “targeted” by gallstones?
The formation mechanism of diseases is often complex, and the high incidence of gallstones is also related to many factors. According to Huang Youxing, there are certain characteristics of people who are prone to grow gallstones.
1. Age. Age is an irresistible cause of gallstones, when more than a certain age, the incidence of gallstones will rise, usually after the age of 40 is the peak incidence.
2. Gender. According to available data, the incidence rate of women is twice that of men, and endocrine metabolism, women’s multiple pregnancies, estrogen and progesterone nutrient metabolism, will affect the composition of bile, inducing gallstones.
3. Obesity. Obese people’s diet is often high in oil and calories, when the diet is too high in fat or cholesterol, it is easy to make the cholesterol content of bile more high, increasing the viscosity of bile, thus easy to form stones.
4. Emotional factors. If long-term depression, sighing state, known in Chinese medicine as “liver qi discomfort”, liver loss of drainage, it is easy to cause gallstones.
5, Diet. Irregular eating, excessive intake of high cholesterol diet, such as barbecue, animal offal, egg yolk, crab yolk, etc..
Anorexia, indigestion, diarrhea don’t think it’s just stomach problems, it’s probably gallstones at work!
“In clinical practice, about 60% of gallstones patients are asymptomatic, most of them are found by ultrasound examination during physical examination.” Director Huang Youxing said that the presence or absence of symptoms is closely related to the location of the growth of gallstones, and only if they block the gallbladder duct or grow in some important parts will they produce the corresponding symptoms. In addition, gallstones will cause chronic cholecystitis when the wall of gallbladder is stimulated for a long time, and the gallbladder wall will slowly thicken with inflammation.
If the stones grow in the constricted part of the bile discharge, the bile in the gallbladder cannot be discharged, resulting in severe biliary colic, which is painful to the bone and is a more serious manifestation of cholecystitis. There is also a condition in which stones growing in the gallbladder, because of excessive time, the cystic duct is destroyed and gallstones fall directly into the common bile duct. When the opening of the common bile duct is blocked, the human body will experience symptoms such as yellowing, abdominal pain, fever and jaundice, which can be fatal in severe cases.
“In conclusion, the symptoms of gallstones can be mild or severe, and they can manifest themselves differently in different situations, locations and periods. It is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle, drink more water, exercise more, and remember to eat breakfast even if you are busy. To pay attention to the health status of the gallbladder, do regular annual medical checkups, a simple ultrasound can detect more than 95% of gallstones, do not wait until you have symptoms to deal with them. Pay attention to the small stones, pay attention to your body, listen to the professional doctor’s advice and carry out scientific and standardized treatment.” So says Director Huang Youxing.
