In today's society, the fast pace of life has disrupted the way of life of many people, but also makes a lot of people's health under great threat, diseases often occur. Obstructive jaundice, as we usually say, is actually caused by the obstruction of the gallbladder and bile duct inside or outside the liver. Due to the different locations, it can be divided into extrahepatic obstructive jaundice and intrahepatic obstructive jaundice. But no matter which kind, when they happen, they will have a certain impact on our body, and also affect our normal life and work.

How does obstructive jaundice cause

Benign causes are the most common. For example, stones in the bile duct or gallbladder block the bile duct, making it impossible for bile to drain into the duodenum. Patients with chronic pancreatitis form pseudotumor in the head of pancreas, which compresses bile duct from outside to inside. Biliary stricture due to inflammation or surgery. Other such as rare biliary bleeding, blood clots blocked the bile duct, resulting in jaundice; Clonorchis hepatica or worms mistakenly entering biliary tract.

Then there are the causes of malignancy, such as malignant tumors of the bile duct itself or gallbladder (cholangiocarcinoma), carcinoma of the head of the pancreas, carcinoma of Vater's ampulla - that is, duodenal papillary carcinoma, liver cancer plug blocking the bile duct - that is, the so-called jaundice type liver cancer, and the enlarged lymph nodes near the bile duct of cancer patients oppressing the bile duct, causing bile duct obstruction.

The drug treatment for this disease is to use drugs such as gantaile and Yiganling. The second is the choice of surgical treatment. Surgical treatment is mainly to remove the obstruction, is the common bile duct. The most suitable operation is extrahepatic obstructive jaundice, which can not only relieve jaundice, but also eradicate the cause of jaundice.

In addition, the patients with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some older people are not suitable for surgical treatment. Patients usually eat a balanced diet, eat more lotus seeds, porridge and other liver food, work and rest to be regular, appropriate exercise is very good.
