Chances Of Having Infection Since Being Diagnosed With Gall Stones After Pregnancy?

I was diagnosed with gall stones after pregnancy a week ago after several attacks. I will be seeing a doctor on Wednesday the ER said I need surgery. How would I know if I have an infection from it? An infection due to a gall stone clogging a duct.

Hi. Sonography and blood counts and Liver function tests can tell pretty well whether you have gall bladder infection. If infection is present, it is always better to go for surgery as the infection can repeat and become troublesome to carry on pregnancy.
