Brief Answer:
Gall stones requires removal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows:
1. Most importantly, need to treat for urinary tract infection. If infection is persistent, urine culture and sensitivity tests to identify appropriate antibiotics is necessary. Need to take plenty of water. Additionally cranberry and blueberry juice will be helpful.
2. For cortical cyst kidney, followup ultrasound necessary after 6 months, to evaluate for increase in size. If increasing, crosses 3 cm, then puncture of the lesion and appropriate treatment as recommended by the nephrologist will be needed. Not to worry now, if there is problem with renal functions, as seen by serum urea and creatinine levels, then treatment can be planned now.
3. For gall stones, Size are larger, especially with multiple stones, requires removal. As he is at present fit, and as age progresses, complications increase, discuss with your doctor regarding possible surgery, once he recovers from urinary tract infection. Risk of cholecystitis, obstructive jaundice will be present. Planned surgery, will have less hospitalization and reduced incidence, if any of complications.
4. He needs to look into mild to moderate exercises, regular sleep, good hydration (5-6 liters water per day, reduced fluids intake after 4 pm - to avoid disturbed sleep) and nutritional balanced diet.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
