Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a cholecsytectomy about 7 months ago and for the past few days, i have been passing green stool. I havent eaten anything that woukd have lead to this. I also have some abdominal pain at the location of my now absent galbladder. Should i be concerned?
noted history of cholecystectomy, occurrence of pain over the post-operative site and green stools. are you taking in any medication or supplement right now? it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a gastroenterologist or a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. recurrence of stones somewhere along the hepaticopancreaticobiliary tree must be ruled-out. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, bilirubins, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly.
hope this helps.
good day!!
