My husband had upper and lower GI last week. Polyps were removed and gastritis was diagnosed. He has an appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning. He is in a lot of pain on the right side of his abdomen just above his waist. I m considering taking him to the hospital. Could it be gallbladder?
Hi.what's the character of the pain? If it is colicky, epigastric to right upper qua Chat Doctor.  Other concerns in the area of complain, i.e. liver, bowel concerns, must also be ruled-out. It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics such as abdominal ultrasound and liver function tests, will probably be requested. Medical (proper antibiotic treatment) and/or surgical (if gallstones, cholecystectomy) will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!!~
