Does Gallbladder Stone Cause Lower Abdominal Pain?
Hi This is regarding my aunt . she has lower abdomen pain But bearable pain. on sonograpy she had two gall bladder one of 16 mm snd other of8 Mm. She also had urine infection. She is being advised removal of gall bladder. Kindly suggest us are we on right track.
Gall bladder stone is not likely to cause the lower abdominal pain. Rather, the urinary tract infection is indeed a possible cause. Please get the urinary tract infection treated with antibiotics and then decide upon the gall bladder surgery. In many cases, many patients have undetected gall bladder stones but never get any pain. The stones get found out incidentally while being investigated for some other problem. Opinion is divided on whether you need to remove gall bladder stones if it is not causing any abdominal pain. I would prefer to wait but please do not make it the basis of your decision. Talk to your doctor about that.
