Ultrasound Shows Gall Stones. Options Other Than Surgery?
I have had three doctors recommend gall bladder surgery. Somewhere I read that Gall bladder surgery is the second most common unnecessary surgery. Sometimes, according to material I have read, there is not another incidence of gall stones. I am seeking a second opinion. I have had two ultrasounds that show gall stones, a blood test, and a one-time incidence of gall stone pain.
hi, gallbladder surgery is mandatory if you are symptomatic like...pain abdomen,abdominal distension,fever,jaundice(yellow skin,yellow urine) and loss of appetite(hunger)
take care
