One of the diseases that modern parents often have to face is the bending of the gallbladder in children. This disease in the manifestation of symptoms is a lot of inconvenience, especially the child himself. The essence of it is that because of the deformed form of the gallbladder, it does not work fully. The outflow of bile, necessary for the breakdown of fats, is disturbed, which interferes with the normal process of digestion.
Bends of the Gallbladder - Causes and Symptoms
Normally, the gallbladder is pear-shaped and consists of three parts: the body, the bottom and neck. Deformation can be detected anywhere.
1. Bend at the junction of the body and the bottom of the gallbladder. This type of bending is the most common. Symptoms of it are:
- pain, giving to the right side in the area of the scapula, collarbone or sternum;
- nausea;
- vomiting.
If the disease was caused by inflammation, the following symptoms of bend of the gallbladder are added:
- sweating;
- bitter taste in the mouth;
- gray complexion.
2. Bend of the neck of the gallbladder. This type of inflection is the result of the lengthening of the neck of the gallbladder or the sagging of the body itself. Deformation is potentially dangerous, because of the possibility of necrosis of the cervix and the subsequent ingress of bile immediately into the abdominal cavity. The symptoms of this state are as follows:
- acute pain in abdomen or left hypochondrium;
- bloating;
- nausea;
- gradual increase in temperature.
3. Twisting of the gallbladder in several places. Such a deformation is rare. The causes of the formation of several folds of the gallbladder may be increased size of the bladder, formed in it stones or the lowering of other internal organs. The disease is also accompanied by pain and nausea.
Acquired and congenital bends of the gallbladder
Congenital deformations of the gallbladder mainly occur asymptomatically, and are detected only with ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity. Experts do not refer them to pathology or disease. As a child grows up, they can completely disappear, since the bladder is a muscle formation. In most cases, the bile of the gallbladder found in infants remain with them for life.
The situation with acquired dyskinesia of the biliary tract is much more complicated. It can be the consequence of bile stone disease or inflammation of the gallbladder. Acquired bends of the gallbladder, in contrast to congenital, should be treated.
Treatment of bend of the gallbladder
The appearance of previously described symptoms is the reason for an immediate reference to a specialist. The doctor will determine the appropriate type of treatment for bending the gallbladder after a complete diagnosis has been performed. Cholagogue medicines can be recommended to the patient only in the absence of stones and sand.
Surgical intervention for patients with dyskinesia is the exception rather than the rule. In general, emphasis is placed on drug treatment.
With the bending of the gallbladder, nutrition is important, which is determined by the doctor, based on the picture of the disease. Without fail, fatty and fried dishes, as well as egg yolks, must disappear from the ration of the child.
Diet in the bend of the gallbladder is observed for a very long period of time, it all depends on the course of the disease. Despite the limitations in nutrition, she should not make the child's diet poor. Recommended:
- porridge;
- soups on vegetable and chicken broth;
- rabbit and poultry meat;
- pork and beef in boiled form;
- cottage cheese;
- non-acid fruits and vegetables;
- butter and vegetable oil.
It is advisable if the dishes are cooked for a couple. From sweet to children you can give marshmallows, soufflé and milk sweets.
What is dangerous bending the gallbladder?
When symptoms of biliary dyskinesia appear, do not delay the visit to the doctor. The disease is fraught with stasis of bile, the formation of stones and metabolic disorders in the body. In some cases, the consequence may be erosion and ulcers of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract.
