Hello doctor, I am having right abdominal pain since last five days. I am not getting relief after taking medicines also. My ultrasound says that the gallbladder is distended with a 6.8 mm calculus at the gallbladder neck. The gallbladder wall is 5.6 mm and appears thickened. The gallbladder is filled with sludge. According to the report, I have acute cholecystitis with cholelithiasis. Do I need a surgery? Or can it be cured by medicines?
Hi. It is very tempting to treat gallbladder stones with dissolving drugs, but there are some very important limitations, which are as follows. Hope that helps. Follow-up if you need more information or leave a feedback if you like. For more information consult a surgical gastroenterologist online -->
