Suggest Remedy For An Acute Abdominal Pain
Hi, My mother was suffering from accute stomach pain. On consulting the doctor first time Jaundice was diagnosed & started the medicines. after two weeks again the pain has started. After sonography & c.t. scan doctor's were dobouting Gall bladder cancer. But after andoscopy, CT scan guided biopsy & Laproscopy biopsy doctors are confused because the biopsy report says that there is no active germs for cancer. CT scan & laproscopy shows that the wall of the gall bladder is very thick around 10mm to 12 mm which leads doctors to confusion that if biopsy shows that there is no active germs of cancer & the wall of gall bladder is very thick than what could be the possibility. Can you please advice on this?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
With the history you have provided, there is no doubt that the gall bladder should have been removed for 2 reasons:
1) you get the disease out
2) you get a full biopsy specimen to decide whether this is just a Cholecystitis or a cancer.
Cholecystitis can cause thickening of the gall bladder. IN fact this is the most common reason .
