This is a serious matter, so be careful. Considering the time summer, the first prevention of infection. Although the removal of the gallbladder will alleviate the pain of the disease caused by gallstones, but will cause more diseases, so the patient should be careful when removing the gallbladder, the sequelae of gallbladder removal surgery: 1, leading to digestive problems - bloating and diarrhea, diarrhea, bloating are indigestion phenomenon.

The gallbladder's position in the human digestive system is extremely important. The bile duct is like a river that links the liver to the intestines, and the gallbladder is a reservoir on the river. Liver cells trickle non-stop secretion of bile, bile flow into the gallbladder, concentrated (equivalent to 30 times the liver bile) after the temporary storage, to be meal time gallbladder contraction will be a high concentration of bile into the intestinal tract to participate in digestion. The gallbladder regulates the function of digestion is very wonderful, eat a high-fat high-protein diet on the more row, eat a vegetarian diet on the less row, do not eat a meal is not row.

If the gallbladder is removed, the bile is discharged from the liver and there is no place to store it, so it has to be continuously discharged into the intestines, and it is thrown away for nothing. To eat, although there is still bile secreted by the liver, but which "reservoir" in the accumulation of that thick, that much? How can the body not tolerate indigestion - bloating, diarrhea pain? Some even a little oil meat and vegetables can not eat.

2, gallstones post-surgery syndrome - abdominal pain, abdominal pain is the manifestation of the gallbladder post-surgery syndrome, the reason is that the bile duct surgery occurs after the "Oddi's sphincter inflammation and dyskinesia". The sphincter is a muscle that surrounds the circumferential duct, and its contraction and diastole closes and opens the duct.

After the gallbladder is removed, the "river" has no "reservoir" and is always full of bile, which puts the wall of the bile duct in a constant state of high pressure, which in turn puts the sphincter of Oddi's muscle in a state of high pressure for a long period of time, causing a dysfunction of the contraction and diastole, and even inflammation of the sphincter. Inflammation of the sphincter occurs, leading to frequent abdominal pain in the patient.

In addition, the removal of the gallbladder will also appear adverse stimuli: intestinal polyps, leading to a decline in immune function, get colon cancer.

Consider it well, the risk is quite high
