Frequently Asked Questions

Q4. Can gallstones come back after gallbladder removal?

Gallstone FAQ
Yes, because removing the gallbladder does not address the cause of the problem. The liver continues to produce the same unhealthy bile that had previously hardened into stones in the gallbladder. Gallstones can still form in the various bile ducts and in the liver to give you that "same old feeling". Unfortunately, some people have been told that it is due to stress or just their imagination!

Do gallstones cause gallbladder cancer?

Frequently Asked Questions about Gallbladder Cancer
Gallstones are the most common risk factor for gallbladder cancer. Between 75% and 90% of people with gallbladder cancer also have gallstones and an inflamed gallbladder. Gallbladder cancer is more likely to happen if your gallbladder has a single large gallstone than several small ones. Doctors believe that large gallstones grow over a long time, irritating the gallbladder wall and increasing the risk for gallbladder cancer. See similar questions...

Q5. What can I do about gallstones which recur after gallbladder removal?

Gallstone FAQ
You need to change your diet. Get to know the foods which give you diarrhea or indigestion, and the foods which don't. Eat according to what your body will allow. In general, avoid fatty foods, deep-fried foods, and high cholesterol foods like eggs and meat. Eat a high-fiber diet which includes vegetables, beans, fruits, and cereals. Needless to say, you can also do the gallstone flush periodically to get rid of the stones in the bile ducts and liver, and ease the general feeling of discomfort. See similar questions...

Q4. Can anyone have laser hair removal?

Laser Hair Removal FAQ
Both men and women can seek laser hair removal. However, it does not work equally well for all people. Those with pale skin and dark coarse hair tend to make the best candidates. Not all laser hair removal systems perform the same on all skin and hair types. Alexandrite long pulse and diode types of lasers work best on light-colored skin, while Nd:YAG long pulse lasers are better and safer on darker skin (skin types IV and darker).

Q4. How do I know if I have gallstones?

Gallstone FAQ
Ultrasound scanning is the most common method used to detect gallstones. Gallstones are often discovered unintentionally during scans or X-rays for other concerns.

How can I get rid of the gallstones?

Faq About the Gallbladder
The doctor can try to dissolve the stones, but this is made gradually on a period of several years with the help of medication. Also, keeping a diet low in fats will help your liver more than you think. Sometimes if the gallstone gets stuck in the neck of the gall bladder or in the cystic duct, acute cholecystitis might appear, meaning that the gallbladder got inflamed and distended, creating a localized peritonitis.

Q4: Where do dreams come from?

Jane Teresa Anderson's Dream Network - Dreams FAQ
There is a lot of disagreement on this! The brain is the physical organ where the electrical impulses and 'dreaming brain waves' occur. Think of a television: it is a machine which picks up electromagnetic waves broadcast by the television station and translates the waves into moving pictures with sound. Every television which is tuned to the same channel at the same time translates the waves into a similar picture. We all watch the same television movie. See similar questions...
