Your bile sac or the gallbladder is the main victim of this kind of disease. Gallstones are very common and many doctors know what to do about it. Most of them offer the quick and easy solution, which means removing the gallbladder. This is not an ideal fate as there are some ways to minimize the size of these stones but they are preventive measure that should have been taken much before. Gallstones happen when there are excess impurities in your bile sac. Gallstones then can block the bile duct via which the bile juice passes through. This is where your gallstone symptoms start taking surface. These ducts are supposed to bring your bile juice towards the intestines which is basically half your immune system. When this does not reach your intestines then you suffer from immense pain and also compromised immune system. The trapped ducts cause inflammation and hence there is pain inflicted in those areas. There are also other ducts that open for the digestion process such as pancreatic juices but when those are already blocked then it can cause a severe radiating pain that will become agonizing for prolonged periods. You will find many home remedies that will help you recover from this dreadful position.

Is Gallbladder Removal the Treatment for Gallstones? ( stanley posted on March 22nd, 2012 )
If you have been concerned that the pains you are feeling in your abdomen may be the pains associated with gallstones then you need to know that gallbladder removal is not the only treatment for these cholesterol clumps. As a matter of fact the surgical removal of the organ that holds the bile for the liver is the last thing that a doctor will recommend. That means they will do everything within their power to prevent you from going under the knife.
There are oral medications that when taken by a person that has this condition the medication causes the stones in the bile to melt and return to their liquid form. These medicines seem to be slow working but they are a safe alternative to surgery if the patient can keep their pain managed with a low fat diet. Your doctor can also use ultra sonic waves to break the clumps into small pieces that will move easier through the ducts. There are times when the stones are very large, or they are extremely numerous that the doctor will order both the ultra sonic waves and the dissolution medication in conjunction with one another. This method can reduce the amount of time it takes for all of the lumps to be dissolved.
