Sohu Health invites Professor Ye Jinsheng, deputy chief physician of the General Surgery/Oncology Surgery of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital to tell you about the things about gallbladder stones.

Moderator: Why does the stool become gray when the gallstones grow?

Professor Ye Jinsheng, deputy chief physician of the General Surgery/Oncology Surgery of Beijing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital: If the stool is gray or pottery color, it is usually because the bile is not excreted into the intestine, causing the lack of dung gallbladder. In this case, it is not only caused by gallbladder stones, but also caused by gallbladder stones or gallbladder tumors caused by bile tube tumors. After the bile is produced from the liver, it is not excreted in the intestine due to the obstruction of the gallstone or the obstruction of the bile pipe.

If a stool -like stool occurs, it will inevitably be accompanied by yellowing, which is mainly manifested on the mucous membrane, skin, and sclera. We also call it obstructive jaundice.
