Assoc. Dr. Fatma Ümit Malya, “Gallstones occur due to genetics, lifestyle and nutrition. At the beginning of the changeable factors are lifestyle and eating habits. In studies, we see that gallstones are formed at a rate of 25 percent, especially in the presence of obesity. This is a very high rate. It means that about one in four people have gallstones. Our bile consists of water, bile acids and cholesterol, that is, fat. If the oil rate increases, our bile loses its fluidity. Just as the amount of soluble sugar in tea is not infinite, our gallbladder cannot keep the excess fat in liquid form and these fats become petrified.” gave the information.

DON'T WAIT FOR MY Tummy Pain

If these stones fall into the main bile duct, it can cause jaundice and pancreatic inflammation.

Commenting on the subject, Assoc. Dr. Fatma Ümit Malya said, “The gallbladder is like a pear that stores bile, attached to a tree like a tree, with a small stalk. When stones form inside, if these stones block the stem part, the gallbladder cannot empty the bile and it swells and becomes inflamed. Later, if these stones fall into the main bile duct, it can cause jaundice and pancreatic inflammation. The first finding for all these is pain in the upper right region of the abdomen, especially after meals. These start out light at first. Later, more serious inflammatory conditions may develop. For this reason, after the pain first started, this gallbladder is considered to have become sick and surgery is recommended.” made evaluations.

Preferring vegetable oils, especially olive oil, and consuming meat in the form of grills have a positive effect on our health. In addition, green leafy vegetables, low-sugar fruit, nuts, legumes and most importantly fish. We especially recommend this diet to our patients to reduce the risk of gallbladder diseases. In addition, tea, coffee and chocolate can have a beneficial effect when consumed in limited amounts, but not excessively. But most of everything is harm, less decision logic will protect your health in this regard as well.” gave his advice.

With the increase in our physical activity, our metabolism will accelerate, and this will allow us to easily overcome even the small getaways we make in between.”
