Cholelithiasis - symptoms and treatment

Cholelithiasis is diagnosed in 10-20% of the population, and women suffer from it up to 3-4 times more often than men. Although gallbladder removal is considered the only effective treatment for cholelithiasis, it is not necessary for every patient. To alleviate the symptoms and as part of the prevention of cholelithiasis, you can use over-the-counter medicines from the pharmacy, containing ingredients such as hymekromon, cineol and extracts from plants such as yarrow, boldo, artichoke or turmeric. In an attack of biliary colic, diastolic and analgesic drugs are used, e.g. drotaverine, hyoscine or metamizole.
