Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling a persistent dull pain in my abdomen, so I went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said I have stones in the right intrahepatic bile duct. I was told that stones in the right intrahepatic bile duct are quite difficult to cure. Here's a question for you: What is the best way to treat stones in the right intrahepatic bile duct?Doctor's answer:
Because of a thorough examination to confirm that the intrahepatic bile ducts only have stones, it is first necessary to confirm the size of the stones. If the stones are relatively small, symptomatic treatment with lithotripsy drugs should be used, and more attention should be paid to physical exercise during daily life, which can enhance the likelihood of stone passage. However, if the stones are too large and difficult to pass, conventional stone surgery or laparoscopic surgery is generally required to remove the stones from the body.
