Gallbladder
The gallbladder is located just below the liver between the lobes of the liver and is our organ that stores the bile produced in the liver and allows the release of bile into the intestine at the appropriate time with the effect of digestive system hormones. Decongestant. The bile secretion produced by the liver cells is sent to the gallbladder, where the bile is concentrated. In patients undergoing gallbladder surgery, this bile produced in the liver is continuously transferred to the small intestine. If this bile moves towards the stomach with the opposite effect of the gastrointestinal tract, bile passes into the stomach, the presence of bile in this organ loaded with acid causes irritation and a number of symptoms in the stomach. This group of patients complains of burning pain and nausea in the stomach, especially during hunger. Sometimes this bile reflux is also observed in patients who have not had gallbladder surgery.
Gallstones
The gallbladder, for various reasons, bile secretion of bile in the form of sediment formed as a result of the wait sometimes cause a blockage in the bile duct gallstones as detected by chance in routine tests as starting at the upper right side of the abdomen, with pain in the right arm and right shoulder is fastened. Depending on the level of obstruction in the biliary tract, jaundice may also accompany the picture. When gallstones are small, they pass into the small intestine along with gallbladder contractions and are excreted directly, while their diameter and/or number increase, the likelihood of giving clinical symptoms and causing the development of gallbladder inflammation or pancreatitis increases. For this reason, it is recommended that individuals with large or large numbers of gallstones undergo gallbladder surgery. However, when making this decision, the patient and the doctor should evaluate the risks and benefits and then decide on surgery. Because bile plays a role in the digestion of fatty foods in particular.
If you look at the risk factors for gallstone formation blonde, hemolytic anemia characterized by rapid destruction of blood cells as forty female patients are more likely to diseases in patients who have gallstones. In addition, the likelihood of gallstones forming after bariatric surgery for the digestive system, which has recently become even more popular, is increasing.
A number of medications given before the onset of gallstone formation prevent the formation of gallstones.
Bile Sludge
A movement defect in the gallbladder is the accumulation of bile fluid in the gallbladder in the form of sediment as a result of deterioration of the fluidity of bile fluid due to infections, etc. Without proper intervention, this condition can turn into gallstones. The formation of bile sludge can also be seen in rapid weight changes. A number of drugs that change the fluidity of bile are used in the treatment of bile sludge. During this period, when obesity treatments are popular, Dr. Meral Sözen, who often encounters bile sludge and has successfully completed her treatments, is one of the doctors you will apply to in terms of bile sludge treatment in Ankara.
Gilbert's Disease
Gilbert's disease is a familial disease and is caused by a lack of an enzyme that allows the excretion of a substance called bilirubin with bile, which is formed as a result of the destruction of blood cells. The substance we call bilirubin, which accumulates in the blood and cannot be excreted into the bile, is responsible for jaundice in the disease. In cases such as stress insomnia, infection, jaundice in the eyes and skin increases in patients. In the case of jaundice in patients, the diagnosis of Gilbert's disease is made after evaluating whether there is another underlying cause. It usually does not cause any problems other than weakness and jaundice on the skin. Medications used to treat Gilbert's disease are usually symptom-reducing. Dr. Meral SÖZEN, who has diagnosed Gilbert's disease to many patients in Ankara, organizes their treatment and diet by aiming to live in the most comfortable way for the treatment of patients with Gilbert's disease.
Acute Cholecystitis
The picture that occurs as a result of inflammation of the gallbladder is called acute cholecystitis. The most common of the symptoms of acute cholecystitis is pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, fever and jaundice. This can be accompanied by a picture of acute pancreatitis with nausea, vomiting, and sometimes girdle-style pain. Among the most common causes of gallbladder disease are infections that block the outflow Decanter of gallstones and hold the gallbladder. In the treatment of acute cholecystitis, intravenous fluid therapy, antibiotic therapy, food intake should be reduced or discontinued for several days. If acute cholecystitis is due to gallstones, gallbladder surgery can be performed at an early stage if the patient has been admitted to the hospital at an early stage. In addition, the opening of the biliary tract can be ensured by performing a procedure called ERCP in the table, which is accompanied by obstruction of the biliary tract by gallstones and causes acute pancreatitis. There are many centers in Ankara that monitor and treat acute cholecystitis.
