On September 18, according to news from Shing Mark University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital ( Dong Nai ), doctors here performed laparoscopic gallbladder surgery on a 28-year-old patient.

Endoscopic removal of 50 gallstones in a young patient.

This patient is Mr. D.AN (residing in Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh City) who was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of epigastric pain, around the navel.

After screening and accurate diagnosis, doctors surgically removed more than 50 gallstones from the patient's gallbladder.

According to doctors, the rejuvenation of gallstones is increasing due to many factors related to lifestyle and diet. Unbalanced diet, especially consuming too much fat and cholesterol, plays an important role in the formation of stones.

In addition, genetic factors and metabolic disorders can also lead to gallstones in young people. These disorders increase the concentration of cholesterol in the bile, while a diet lacking in fiber and green vegetables also increases the risk of the disease. The use of oral contraceptives has also been noted to increase the risk of gallstones in young women.
