Surgery is an important means of treating gallstones. It can be selected according to the condition of the disease, but surgery cannot completely cure gallstones. Sometimes multiple surgeries are needed and still cannot achieve the goal of cure. Moreover, many elderly people do not have good physical fitness and the risk of surgery is relatively high, so they are not suitable for surgical treatment.

Acute gallstone treatment method 2: extracorporeal lithotripsy

The principle of the hydraulic lithotripsy is to use the huge energy generated by hydraulic high-level discharge. After multiple discharge shocks, the stones are crushed and discharged from the body through mucus. This method of lithotripsy does not require surgery, is less painful, and recovers faster. However, this method cannot remove all stones. Many stones will remain in the body and cannot be completely cured. There is a possibility of recurrence. In addition, this treatment method has certain damage to the liver, so it should be used with caution.

Western medicine can have an immediate effect on the treatment of stones, but it has relatively large side effects and cannot cure the root cause. It can only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, so please use it with caution.

Acute gallstone treatment method 4: Chinese medicine treatment

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment for gallstones can eliminate inflammation from the root, and the stones can be dissolved and excreted in the body through traditional Chinese medicine, and there is no problem of recurrence, so it is sought after by many people. However, traditional Chinese medicine treatment is relatively slow, and the effect on acute attacks of gallstones is not obvious. Long-term medication is required, so it is suitable for the treatment of gallstones that have stones but no symptoms, or when immediate relief of symptoms is not required.
