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 have been detected with gallstones with no infection of 15mm size...my father is also doctor and he wants me to try Udiliv for 2 months and then go for surgery...where as GAstro surgeon told me to remove galblader as soon as possible...I am not sure what to do
Hi, Thanks for posting your query. I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you. Gallstones that does not cause any symptom usually do not require any treatment. Only in case of symptomatic gallstones gallbladder has to be removed. The only definitive treatment for gallstones is surgery. Udiliv may not help much. So if you have symptomatic gallstones go for surgery. Otherwise no need for any intervention. Just check your blood glucose and cholesterol levels as high levels are risk factors for gallstones. Reduce weight if you are obese. Obesity is another risk factor for gallstones. I hope that answers your question. Regards, Dr.R.K.
