Does Gallbladder Infection Cause Severe Abdominal Pain?
Hello Doctor ,My brother is admitted in the hospital Yesterday due to worst abdoman pan.Now Altrasound report came and doctor told us that pain is due to gallbladder infection and have to operate the Gallblader. I am just wondering there is not stone in gallbladder so why they are asking about gall blader removal only because of swelling in it.please suggest what should we do?
The issue here seems cholecystitis (Acalculus) due to some sort of infection.
In our clinic, I keep the patient under conservative treatment with intravenous antibiotic, fluids, anti-spasmodic, proton pump inhibitors for a period of 48 hours and take later decision of surgery accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
