In Vietnam, gallstones are mainly found in the main biliary tract, of which gallstones in the liver account for 20-56%.

Jaundice: Depending on the progression of gallstones, the degree of jaundice varies from patient to patient. This symptom is often accompanied by severe itching. However, when there are persistent pain symptoms in the right flank: dull or severe pain spreading to the back or epigastrium; high fever, yellow skin, yellow urine… is also the time when gallstone disease causes serious complications.

To prevent gallstone disease, Dr. Do Tuan Anh recommends: The rate of gallstone disease is still very high in Vietnam. Because gallstones are a disease caused by poor hygiene habits, eating raw foods with infections. The proportion of people in rural areas with biliary stone disease is still high due to parasitic infection.

Hygiene should increase the cases of gallstones… At the same time, having metabolic diseases also increases the risk of disease. If cholangitis is repeated many times, lasts for a long time… the disease can progress to cholangiocarcinoma.

Doctors recommend that people should eat cooked food, drink boiling water, and deworm every 6 months -1 year. When detecting gallstones, gallbladder polyps and abnormalities, it is necessary to immediately go to specialized medical facilities for early examination.
