Is Gallbladder Check Up Essential Before Total Hysterectomy?
I am a 48 year old female who has had an ablation. No periods for years. I havebeen having ongoing lower right back pain, no appetite, full feeling. I am supposed to have a total hysterectomy scheduled. When i went to meet my surgeon, he put me on continuous hormone therapy and wants me to get my gallbladderchecked first why?

Hi,
There is no direct relation between hysterectomy and gall bladder pathology. However your surgeon might be concerned with your other symptoms related to abdomen and hence wants to rule out any gall bladder problems which need attention.
