An excess in the body of the gallbladder is an anomaly of the structure of this organ, at which its deformation occurs. Against this background, there is a change in the correct shape of the bubble, which should be pear-shaped. In addition, its functioning is disrupted, bile stasis occurs, which can threaten the appearance of complications.
Symptoms and variety will differ depending on the etiological factors of the pathology. The main signal is pain and discomfort under the ribs on the right, an unpleasant aftertaste in the oral cavity. The treatment tactics for kink in the body of the gallbladder is directly determined by the location of the bend of the organ.
Etiology
Such a pathology of the gallbladder, as an excess, does not depend on age and is often diagnosed in children. In this case, they speak of a congenital or primary inflection of the pancreas. The following circumstances may contribute to its appearance in a child:
- uncontrolled use by a woman during pregnancy of medicines during the first trimester;
- maintaining an unhealthy lifestyle while carrying a baby, including drinking alcohol and smoking;
- the presence in a woman of chronic pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract or liver;
- infectious or viral diseases transferred during pregnancy;
- unfavorable working or living conditions of a pregnant woman.
In adults
In adult patients, an excess in the body of the gallbladder occurs due to the following reasons:
- malnutrition, which is dominated by spicy and fatty foods;
- compliance with too strict diets, prolonged voluntary refusal of food, and the absence of a regimen can also be referred to the first point. That is why the conservative treatment of pathology is based on the implementation of recommendations on the right diet;
- metabolic disease;
- the presence of a patient at one stage or another of obesity;
- pathologies such as cholecystitis or gastrointestinal tract, as well as other diseases of the liver, pancreas and duodenum;
- serious food-borne toxicoinfection;
- weight lifting when a person is not physically prepared;
- lack of physical activity, which can be caused by sedentary working conditions or lifestyle, when a person is forced to stand or sit for a long time;
- promiscuous drug use;
- an increase in the size of the right kidney;
- a sharp decrease in patient weight;
- liver trauma;
- surgical manipulations on the digestive tract.
Pregnancy is another reason, because this period is characterized by compression and displacement of the internal organs, in particular, the gallbladder. This is due to the constant increase in the uterus and the growth of the fetus in the womb of a woman.
Classification
Due to the fact that there are several sections in the gallbladder, deformation of any of them can occur. For example, stand out:
- Bend in the neck area of this organ.
- An excess of the gallbladder in the body area - this and the above pathological form are the most common.
- An excess of the bile duct.
- Deformation of the bottom of the gallbladder.
One of the most dangerous options for placing the anomaly is the bend zone of the neck and body of the gallbladder. The disease according to the etiological factor can be: congenital, that is, formed during the development of the fetus in the womb; acquired - it is distinguished by the influence of one or more of the causes indicated above, it is clinically manifested.
Other forms
In addition, there are several more forms of such a disease:
- labile inflection of the bubble - differs in that it is able to change its location;
- the inflection of the bubble is fixed - its difference from the previous one is that it is fixed in a specific area and remains motionless;
- functional gallbladder inflection - does not pose a threat to human life and does not cause complications. This happens because he disappears on his own when a person changes position.
Symptoms of congenital inflection
Congenital inflection in the body of the gallbladder in a child in most cases proceeds without the manifestation of any clinical symptoms and does not cause discomfort as it grows older. Often it becomes an unexpected finding during an ultrasound scan, which is prescribed for prophylactic purposes or to determine a completely different disease. But in some situations, the following signs of gallbladder deformity in infants may appear:
- periodic and at the same time a strong increase in the volume of the abdomen;
- frequent spitting up;
- baby anxiety during feedings.
Such symptoms of an excess of the body of the gallbladder are observed in those cases when the baby is gradually injected with complementary foods. Sometimes (very rarely), signs of congenital inflection at preschool age in children can occur. These symptoms include the following:
- feeling nauseous after eating junk food or in the morning;
- discomfort in the right hypochondrium;
- gagging, which bring relief to the child;
- bloating - occurs after eating;
- aversion of the child to fatty foods;
- bitter taste in the oral cavity;
- yellowish plaque appearing on the tongue.
Acquired Inflection
An acquired kink of the gallbladder in the area of the body will have some difference in clinical manifestations. With deformation of the bile duct, thus, will be observed:
- severe pain in the area of the affected organ;
- constant bouts of nausea, often ending in vomiting;
- frequent heart contractions.
If a deformation occurs between the body and the bottom of the bladder, the symptoms will be as follows: intense soreness in the chest; dyspeptic symptoms; radiating pain to the right hypochondrium, collarbone and scapula.
Kink of neck
An excess of the neck of the gallbladder has the same symptoms: pronounced pain syndrome under the ribs on the right side and in the shoulder blades; the appearance of a yellowish tinge in the mucous membranes and skin integument; fever. Similar symptoms may also indicate a deformation in the area of the gallbladder body. Regardless of the location of the inflection, there is a violation of the stool, an increase in the volume of the abdomen, belching and heartburn, bad breath, bitterness in the oral cavity, yellow plaque on the tongue, and no appetite. If one or more signs of pathology appear, you need to go to a gastroenterologist as soon as possible, who will provide qualified assistance and help prevent various complications in the body.
How is the inflection form of the gallbladder body revealed?
Diagnostics
Determining the correct diagnosis and the location of the organ deformation is based on instrumental examinations of the person. However, before performing them, it will be necessary to implement other diagnostic methods.
Primary diagnosis is carried out only by a clinician, it is aimed at:
- a detailed survey of the patient or his parents, which is required to establish the time of the first appearance of symptoms and their severity;
- acquaintance with the history of life and the patient’s medical history, which is necessary to determine the cause of the inflection;
- physical examination, which necessarily includes palpation of the surface of the abdominal anterior wall, especially with emphasis on the area of the right hypochondrium, examination of the condition of the sclera and skin, and temperature measurement.
Regarding laboratory tests of feces, urine and blood, it must be said that their diagnostic significance in this case is absent. Nevertheless, they are carried out to refute or confirm the presence of complications. Among the diagnostic instrumental methods, ultrasound is distinguished, which has several stages: first - the procedure is performed on an empty stomach; the second - an ultrasound is performed half an hour after taking a choleretic breakfast. In addition to products that increase bile production, medicines with the same effect can also be used. Congenital pathologies will not show any changes, if the disease is acquired, there is a decrease in the size of the inflamed organ.
Drug treatment
For the treatment of children with deformation of the gallbladder with an excess in the body, the following drugs are mainly prescribed:
- sedatives, that is, sedatives (motherwort, valerian);
- bile-forming - stimulate the formation of bile ("Allohol", "Cycalvalon");
- choleretic - contribute to easier bile excretion ("Mannitol", "Hofitol");
- antispasmodic - eliminate pain and stomach spasm ("Papaverine", "No-Shpa").
Antibiotics
With the development of the inflammatory process during inflection, antibacterial agents are prescribed. They are used by the course. It can not be increased or interrupted independently. Antibiotics are drunk along with drugs that contribute to the normalization of intestinal microflora, since antibacterial agents negatively affect the digestive system.
When choosing a drug for inflection in the body of the gallbladder, the patient's age must be taken into account. It is strictly forbidden to treat children without consulting a doctor.
Popular medicines for adult patients:
- "Hepabene" - has a gentle choleretic and analgesic effect.
- “Ursofalk” - helps to restore the correct gall outflow, splitting stones, stimulating the activity of the gall bladder.
- “Flaming” - brings the internal organs into tone, reduces pain and eliminates the inflammation process.
- "Nicodine" - has an anti-inflammatory effect and improves bile secretion.
What else does treatment for inflection in the gallbladder body suggest?
Additional treatments
The specialist can prescribe additional therapeutic exercises to the patient. It has already been indicated above that a sparing diet is of great importance in eliminating such a pathology. At an excess of a gall bladder the diet assumes absence in the menu: salted, spicy and fatty dishes; offal and rich broths; legumes and smoked meats; canned food and pickles; confectionery and pastries; dairy products that contain too high a percentage of fat; animal fats and mushrooms; hot sauces and spices; honey, chocolate and other sweets; dried fruits and citrus fruits; carbonated drinks; black tea and strong coffee.
At the same time, the human body will receive the necessary trace elements and vitamins from seafood; dietary species of fish, poultry and meat, pasta, skim milk and dairy products, vegetarian soups, fruits and vegetables after heat treatment, stewed fruit and jelly, green tea and jelly.
Among other things, for patients in whom the gall bladder is deformed by an excess in the body, it is advisable to eat food fractionally and often, to control the temperature of food, to cook food using stewing, boiling, baking and steaming. At the core is the diet table at number five. Regarding the intricacies of nutrition, all recommendations are given by a nutritionist or gastroenterologist. Excellent results can be achieved using alternative medicine methods, but it is recommended that you consult a doctor before starting such treatment.
Healthy plants
Useful properties have: tansy and dandelion; immortelle and St. John's wort; Avran and corn stigmas; calendula and calamus root; gentian and barberry; chamomile and rose hips; valerian and mint; artichoke and rhubarb; centaury and coriander. Surgical intervention in the event of an excess of the gallbladder is resorted to in very rare cases, only if the blood supply to the organ was disturbed or when its wall was perforated. Surgical treatment aims to excise the gallbladder.
Prevention
To prevent pathologies associated with organ bending, a number of the following recommendations must be observed:
- lead moderately active and healthy lifestyle, especially during pregnancy;
- eat right and build your diet for recovery;
- bring the weight back to normal;
- if possible, prevent strong physical exertion and stress;
- in time to eliminate those diseases that can cause gallbladder deformities;
- During the year, several times examined by a gastroenterologist.
The prognosis of congenital inflection of the bladder is most often favorable. With an acquired disease, it decreases markedly, since there is a high probability of developing complications in the body.
