The gallbladder and bile ducts in the human body play an important role in the digestion of food and metabolism. Biliary dyskinesia can lead to serious diseases and complications. Complications may include:
1. Hypertonicity of the gallbladder (hypokalemia) - increased tension in the coordinated activity of the gallbladder and gall sphincters 2. Stagnation of bile (obstructive form) - a violation of the neurohumoral regulation of the activity of the biliary tree, manifested by a slowdown in the outflow of bile 3. Cystic hyperophy of the gallbladder. It is characterized by the appearance of true or pseudocysts, false diverticula, which are of the same size. Their walls are very thin. Dimensions can range from a few millimeters to fairly large sizes (up to 20 cm). 4. Cholecystitis due to biliary dyskinesia. Impaired outflow and stagnation inside the bladder are fertile ground for the development of inflammation 5. Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) 6. Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas) 7. Enterocolitis (inflammatory process affecting the small, large intestine and its lymph nodes).
As for diagnosis, these examinations can be performed using ultrasound of the gallbladder, which makes it possible to determine the form and type of the disease. The doctor may also prescribe additional tests, including: MRI, X-ray CT and biopsy. The disease manifests itself differently in different people, and symptoms may vary. However, in most cases, symptoms include pain in the right side under the ribs, itchy intestines, heartburn, diarrhea or constipation, bad breath, bitter taste, enlarged liver and enlarged gallbladder.
Treatment depends on the cause, but usually involves lifestyle changes. Diet, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and regular exercise are important components of a healthy lifestyle. Some medications may also be prescribed to help manage symptoms. If dyskinesia is the result of a gallstone, surgical treatment may be prescribed in some cases.
Gallbladder dyskinesia is a disease in which the motility of the gallbladder and bile ducts is impaired. Hypotension is a form of dyskinesia in which there is low bile pressure in the gallbladder and ducts. This condition can lead to obstruction of the flow of bile, which can cause a number of symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, as well as other digestive problems. In this article, we will take a closer look at gallbladder dyskinesia, risk factors for its development, symptoms and treatment methods.
What is biliary dyskinesia? Gallbladder dyskinesia is a disruption of the gallbladder and/or biliary system, usually caused by changes in its structure and function. It has been proven that the predisposition to the development of dyskinesia is associated with genetic factors. With dyskinesias, a violation of the choleretic effect of bile often occurs due to impaired activity and mobility of bile movements. Hypotension of the bile ducts occurs when their tone and motility are simultaneously impaired, i.e., there is a decrease in the muscle tone of the walls of the ducts and a decrease in the amplitude of contractions, which subsequently leads to insufficient release of bile.
Symptoms The main symptoms of hypotonic bile duct dyskinesia are pain attacks, a feeling of fullness in the right hypochondrium, iliac region, a feeling of bitter taste in the mouth and belching. As a rule, these symptoms occur during an exacerbation of liver disease. Sometimes hypotonic dysfunction can be confused with a peptic ulcer, gastritis or other pathologies of the gastrointestinal tract, such as gastritis, pancreas or even intestinal obstruction. But still, if such characteristic symptoms constantly occur in a person, then it is necessary to seek help from a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and prescribe appropriate treatment.
