From among the representatives of the stronger sex, the prevalence of cholelithiasis is 2-3 times lower. Choledocholithiasis appears in 8-20% of patients of cholelithiasis. At 65-75% of patients diagnosed with choledocholithiasis obstructive jaundice is formed of different kinds of degree.

Causes blockage of the bile ducts (ICD-10 К83.1) may be different.

Benign disease (80%):

• choledocholithiasis;
• cholangitis;
• stenosis of major duodenal papilla;
• acute papillitis;
• tumors of major duodenal papilla;
• pancreatitis;
• cicatricial stricture of the main bile duct;
• okaloacoochee diverticula;
• infrequent causes (congenital bile duct obstruction, pericholedochal lymphadenitis, parasitic lesions, etc.).

Cancer tumors (20%):

• pancreas;
• major duodenal papilla;
• the bile ducts;
• liver (primary or metastatic lesion).

Clinical manifestations

The mechanical zheltushki symptoms often associated with its cause. In the presence of tumors and cicatricial changes they are able to speak and increase over time.

Methods of diagnostics. After an initial examination of the patient the doctor will prescribe a medical examination in order to continue the dynamic treatment. Need to donate blood biochemistry, urinalysis, complete blood count, immunological study, ultrasound of internal organs (liver, pancreas, gall bladder). Tested on histology and Cytology, fibrogastroduodenoscopy radionuclide studies of the liver and biliary system.

Undoubtedly, without exception, these methods do not prescribe all sick. It all depends on the clinical disease and course of disease, as well as research opportunities at the hospital.

Sometimes to verify jaundice the doctors enough ultrasound and normal laboratory tests. However, in difficult cases it is necessary to apply all without exception valid high-tech methods.

How to treat the disease

Most of the patients diagnosed with jaundice mechanical, just need to do the surgery. Only a small number of human cases is effectively the purpose of pharmacotherapy. Depending on the disease the medicine will be given only under strict medical supervision, antispasmodics – Nospanum, Spazgan, etc. (to increase flow, and decrease pain).

Surgery as a cure is a constructive (absolute prevention of the circumstances of the blockage) and fragile (the renewal of the bile flow to facilitate the life of the patient with incomplete removal of the blockage). Endoscopic surgery through the study of the intestinal tract is also indicated for a disease like GSD (endoscopic cholecystectomy, removal of stones from common bile duct and gallbladder), incurable neoplasm of head of pancreas with compression of the sphincter of Oddi (sphincterotomy fragile), unresectable tumor Klatskin (study of snide ducts). Healing laparoscopy is used often in the presence of the GSD to retrieve the stones.

No doubt, medication can help to cure the disease, but if the drugs of classical medicine will be perceived in combination with traditional medicines, healing will come much faster.

Medicinal plants and spoil a perfectly safe and effective, and are much cheaper. Useful substances of medicinal plants contribute to the resumption of power and strengthen the immune system. Treatment of folk remedies of medicine effectively, but it can not be abused.
