How gallstones are diagnosed 3 ways to diagnose gallstones are revealed
The presence of stone disease on the gallbladder is a reminder that people should pay attention to a healthy diet. Gallstone disease is a serious symptom that requires aggressive treatment. If the stone disease is not treated in time, it is easy to cause symptoms of gallbladder enlargement and gallbladder inflammation, which will have a negative impact on the health of the body. So how are gallstones diagnosed? Here are the three main ways to diagnose gallstones.
1. General inspection
For gallstones, the diagnosis can be confirmed by general examination.
The general examination methods mainly include laboratory tests and liver dysfunction tests, and relatively mild gallbladder stone disease generally does not show obvious symptoms when examined. Therefore, it is necessary to choose the appropriate examination method according to the severity of the disease. The general examination method is suitable for severe stone disease and is not a universal examination method.
2. Imaging examination
Imaging tests mainly refer to ultrasound examination and ultrasound examination. Imaging tests can be done to see if there are stones in the gallbladder. If the gallbladder is found to be enlarged and deformed, and the contractile function of the gallbladder begins to weaken, it can basically be diagnosed that there are stones in the gallbladder, and aggressive treatment can be taken at this time, which can achieve a more significant effect.
3. X-ray examination
X-rays can also reveal the symptoms of gallstones, and X-rays can reflect on the gallbladder to see if there are stones in the gallbladder. X-rays can accurately determine the number of stones and the size of the stones, so this test is very advantageous.
There are three ways to diagnose the disease of gallstones, which are general examination, X-ray examination and imaging examination. After a specific diagnosis, the severity of the disease can be more deeply understood, so that targeted treatment can be taken, so that the disease can be removed as soon as possible and return to normal life and work, which is of positive significance to the patient.
