summary

Our village often organizes physical examination, and I was also pulled by my neighbors. As a result, the examination report was sent in a few days, saying that there was sand like gravel in my gallbladder, but I didn't feel any pain or itch at ordinary times. I was very afraid to hear my friends say that I had to have an operation when it was serious. Today, let me tell you what common bile duct stones are.

What is choledocholithiasis

First: choledocholithiasis refers to the stones located in the common bile duct, most of which are pigment stones or mixed stones mainly composed of bile pigment, and most of them occur at the lower end of the common bile duct. According to its source, it can be divided into primary choledocholithiasis and secondary choledocholithiasis.

Second, the formation of gallstones in the bile duct is closely related to biliary tract infection, cholestasis and biliary Ascaris. Bile duct stones from the gallbladder, known as secondary bile duct stones, cholesterol stones are more common.

Third: secondary choledocholithiasis is originated from the gallbladder. In the process of the occurrence and development of cholecystolithiasis, small stones fall into the common bile duct through the cystic duct or the diameter of the cystic duct is relatively large, and larger stones can enter the common bile duct one after another.
