Most people with gallstones only become aware of it when the symptoms become severe.
In this video, we shall take a look at not only the natural remedies for gallstones,
but the symptoms and causes of the condition.
Before we go into the meat of the matter, let us make some quick definitions.
What is the gallbladder?.
The gallbladder is a small organ (like a pouch) in the body that is connected to the liver
and the small intestine.
The primary function of the gallbladder is to store bile produced by the liver, which
is then released into the small intestine when needed for digestion of fats.
Since this video is about gallstones, it will be necessary for us to understand what the
gallbladder is, as that is the major organ affected by gallstones.
Moving on, let us get the definition of gallstones.
What are gallstones?.
A gallstone is a small mass of concrete mineral salt deposit in the gallbladder.
Gallstones, also known as cholelithiasis, are hard lumps that arise from excess bile
salts or cholesterol in the liver.
Types of gallstones.
While gallstones differ in size and shape some can be as small as a grain of sand, while
others can be the size of a tennis ball, they are basically grouped into one of two types:
pigment gallstones and cholesterol gallstones.
Pigment gallstones.
Any gallstone that is formed as a result of excess bilirubin deposit in the gallbladder
is referred to as pigment gallstones.
Pigment gallstones are usually black or brown in colour.
Cholesterol gallstones.
This type of gallstones is formed when undissolved cholesterol from bile is deposited in the
gallbladder.
Cholesterol gallstones are the more common type of gallstones in man.
What causes gallstones?.
Basically gallstones may be caused by either of three reasons.
Excess cholesterol in the bile.
Most gallstones are caused when there is an excess of cholesterol in the body.
As a result, the amount of bile produced in the liver is not adequate to breakdown the
cholesterol processed by the liver.
The excess cholesterol combines with calcium and other substances in the gallbladder to
form a hard mass that is then deposited in the gallbladder.
Excess bilirubin.
Bile contains many chemical substances, one of which is bilirubin.
Bilirubin is a pigment that forms after red blood cells are broken down.
An excessive amount of bilirubin in the liver is the main cause of pigment gallstones.
Gallstones can also arise from too much bile salt in the gallbladder.
This problem is normally the result of a malfunctioning gallbladder.
