Symptoms of Gallstones

Gallstones may not cause any signs or gallstones symptoms. When a gallstone blocks the bile duct, it can result in the following signs and symptoms: - Sudden and severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen - Sudden and severe pain in the center of the abdomen, just below the breastbone - Pain in the back between the shoulder blades - Pain in the right shoulder - Nausea or vomiting

How to Diagnose Gallstones?

The gallstones are diagnosed with the help of specific tests and procedures. Gallstone specialists use two tests commonly, which are: Abdominal ultrasound: In abdominal ultrasound, a transducer scans the stomach area. The transducer is probed back and forth to create signals. These signals are transformed into gallstone pictures by the computer. It is the most frequently used imaging test to diagnose gallstones. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): A small, flexible tube called an endoscope is passed into the digestive tract through the mouth. A transducer present in the tube produces sound waves. These are converted into images. Gallstones are also detected using imaging tests such as an - Oral Cholecystography - Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP) - Computerized Tomography (CT) - Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan - Gallstones detected using Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP) can also be removed during the assessment. Blood tests: A few blood tests can also be done to detect the complications of gallstones, including infection, gallstone pancreatitis, jaundice, etc.

What Is the Treatment for Gallstones?

Gallbladder surgery: Your doctor could suggest a cholecystectomy because the gallstones could return. Life after gallbladder removal is unaffected, the process is not life-threatening. The liver will discharge the bile directly into the small intestine rather than retaining it in the gallbladder. Gallstone medications: Some medications dissolve gallstones to help remove them. The dissolution might take months or years to happen. The gallstone may recur once the treatment is stopped.

When Will The Doctor Suggest Surgery?

A gallstone or gallbladder surgery may be recommended when the gallbladder is severely swollen or infected. Two types of surgeries are commonly performed i.e. a laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) or an open surgery (open cholecystectomy).
