Psychosomatic diseases. Biliary dyskinesia, symptoms and causes of the disease.

Pain in the right subcostal region can't help but bother you - what if it's the liver, you think? In an effort to reduce the load on the largest gland of the body, you refuse fried, salty, smoked, fatty, alcohol ... but the pain does not intend to leave you. We advise you to be examined - you may be suffering from biliary dyskinesia.

What's that?

In fact, this pathology is a weak mobility of the walls of the biliary ducts and gallbladder, due to which bile does not enter the stomach in sufficient quantity, but remains in the gallbladder.

What are the risks?

First and foremost, leaving things the way they are runs the risk of earning cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder.

And changes in the composition of bile, arising from its stagnation, can lead to the development of cholelithiasis. Therefore, pain in the right side of the torso should not be ignored.

The walls of the gallbladder and ducts can become sedentary for two reasons: either because the walls are too relaxed or because they are too tense. The first form of dyskinesia is called hypotonic, the second is called hypertonic. You can determine which one you have by the nature of the pain.

If you regularly have aching, dull pain in the right subcostal region, sometimes radiating to the right shoulder blade, if the pain lasts for a long time (up to several days), accompanied by belching or a feeling of buckwheat in the mouth - you have hypotonic dyskinesia.

In hypertensive dyskinesia, the pain has a different character - it is sharp, appears after eating heavy food (fatty, smoked, spicy, etc.), but subsides quite quickly. An attack of pain can be relieved with antispasmodics.

What causes dyskinesias?

The causes range from parasites in the body to allergies.

But more often than not, this strange condition has neurological and hormonal in origin.

Especially its development is influenced by emotional disorders. Biliary dyskinesia is most commonly has a psychosomatic cause. Unfortunately, because of this, it is very common.

What do we do?

The first thing to do is to revitalize the emotional atmosphere. Strong healthy sleep in sufficient quantity, a reasonable daily regimen, a minimum of stress. If you are prone to depression, you should definitely undergo a course of treatment with a psychotherapist. Often dyskinesia is caused by some psychological conflict or psychological trauma - to get rid of this burden and find harmony, visit a psychologist.

Doctors often note that patients with dyskinesia believe that they are sick with something terrible (it's the liver, right?), that their condition is extremely serious. And in general, many of those who come to see a doctor with pain in the right subcostal region do not feel the taste of life, rather exist than live.
