Dyskinesia of the gallbladder occurs in everyonefifth adult. This disease is a functional disorder of the gallbladder and bile ducts. With this disorder, the contraction of the gallbladder and bile ducts occurs untimely and not synchronously. In all cases of gallbladder dyskinesia, there is dysfunction of the gallbladder. Dysfunction of the gallbladder is characterized by a violation of the ability of the gallbladder to contract. Such disorders are almost always accompanied by biliary colic - intense pain in the gallbladder. Almost always, the appearance of such colic is a consequence of the fact that the gallbladder does not empty properly. Dyskinesia of the biliary tract has different symptoms, but pain is the most obvious. In addition, it is necessary to mention the sphincter of the gallbladder, which is called the sphincter of Oddi. It locks and unlocks the entrance to the gallbladder. Any dyskinesia of the biliary tract is accompanied by a violation of the sphincter. And all this introduces an additional complication into the course of this disease. In addition, disruption of the normal functioning of the sphincter of Oddi often accompanies diseases such as cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer.
Varieties of biliary dyskinesia
Dyskinesia of the biliary tract and gallbladderbladder can be of two types - primary and secondary. Basically, it depends on the causes that caused the development of this disease, and the nature of its course. So: Primary dyskinesia of the biliary tract: Primary dyskinesia of the gallbladder differs from secondary in that there are no pathological organic changes in the gallbladder itself and its bile ducts. However, you should not relax and not perceive primary dyskinesia of the gallbladder as something trivial and insignificant. If this disease is not treated for a long time, serious stagnation of bile in the gallbladder occurs. And, as a result, such dyskinesia of the gallbladder leads to its inflammation, as well as to the formation of gallstones. And this disease has a very, very unfavorable effect on the general condition of the human digestive system. And this is understandable - as you know, the human body is like the most accurate clockwork. And a malfunction of any organ will inevitably lead to a disruption of the normal functioning of the entire body without exception, and even more so the human digestive tract, in which the gallbladder plays an important role. Secondary dyskinesia of the biliary tract: In the same case, if dyskinesia of the gallbladder and biliary tract occurs as a result of certain diseases. Most often, dyskinesia is caused by such disorders as cholecystitis, both with and without the formation of stones, pathological development of the gallbladder itself: its kinks and constrictions, stenosis. In the case of dyskinesia of the biliary tract in children, one can suspect the presence of congenital anomalies. The essence of the disease is as follows. Bile is continuously formed in the liver. The flow of bile into the duodenum itself occurs directly during the digestion process. Coordination of this process occurs due to certain relationships between the terminal section of the main bile duct and the bile duct itself. In order for bile to enter the duodenum, the gallbladder begins to contract rhythmically during the digestive process. It is as a result of the active contraction of the bladder walls that bile is released. The sphincter of Oddi relaxes and opens the gallbladder so that the released bile can leave it and enter the bile ducts, and from there into the duodenum.
Features of the course of the disease
Both primary and secondary forms of flowDyskinesia of the gallbladder and bile ducts affects the female body much more often. Men suffer from this disease two and a half times less often than women. Women of thin build are especially often faced with this disease. In addition, recent studies have proven that there is a connection between the menstrual cycle and dyskinesia of the gallbladder. The more irregular the cycle, the higher the probability of developing the disease. And secondary dyskinesia associated with various other diseases is also much more often observed in women. Although, strictly speaking, the incidence of gastrointestinal tract diseases is approximately the same in both men and women. And why in women they are more often complicated by the development of secondary dyskinesia of the gallbladder and bile ducts, doctors have not yet been able to establish.
The causes of dyskinesia of the gallbladder
That often the development of the gallbladderprovoked by existing diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, as mentioned above. However, in addition to this factor that provokes the development of the disease, there are many others. In particular, such as:
- Violation of the hormonal background
Approximately 30% of all cases of dyskinesia developmentgallbladder it is associated with hormonal disorders that a person has, which are associated with a disruption in the normal functioning of the endocrine system.
- Pharmacological preparations
Many medicines have thisa side effect that results in stagnation of bile in the gallbladder, often very long-term. And, of course, such a phenomenon has extremely negative consequences for both the gallbladder itself and the bile ducts. Carefully read the annotation to each drug you take. Do not rely on the doctor - unfortunately, the doctor himself does not always pay attention to such nuances.
- Hormonal contraceptives
By the way, another reason whywomen suffer from dyskinesia of the gallbladder more often than men, is their use of hormonal contraceptives. As already mentioned, changes in hormonal levels often provoke the development of this disease. But by taking these drugs, a woman deliberately changes her hormonal levels. This is what increases the risk of developing dyskinesia of the gallbladder and bile ducts.
- Allergic reactions
Quite often, the doctors I turned toa sick person is diagnosed with biliary dyskinesia. However, despite all efforts, they still fail to establish the causes that provoked the development of the disease. And very rarely can any doctor assume that the provoking factor may be an allergic reaction of the sick person's body to any products.
- Poisoning and hepatitis
Often, severe poisoning also leads todevelopment of dyskinesia of the gallbladder and bile ducts. Moreover, it does not matter at all what substances led to severe intoxication of the body - food toxins, poisonous substances, household chemicals or anything else. The result, as a rule, is the same - the functioning and condition of both the gallbladder and its ducts suffers. It is not worth talking about hepatitis at all. After all, with them, the liver suffers significantly, and the gallbladder is directly connected with the functioning of the liver.
Nutrition rules for dyskinesia of the gallbladder
Nutrition needs to be discussed separately.Proper nutrition can not only alleviate the course of the disease and speed up recovery. Proper nutrition can be a good means of preventing the development of dyskinesia of the gallbladder and bile ducts. Try to review your diet. You should try to completely exclude the following products from it:
- All salty dishes - pickle soup, salted fish, pickled cucumbers.
- All pickled meals.
- Smoked and spicy dishes - sausages, spices and others.
- Various sauces, except sour cream.
Instead of these products, it is much wiser to includethe menu includes dairy products, vegetables and fruits, which contain a large amount of dietary fiber. Such a diet will benefit the entire body, and not only facilitate the work of the digestive tract. And women will be pleased with the disappearance of a few extra pounds of weight.
