Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does My Ultrasound Scan Test Report Indicate?
My wife has undergone USG of whole abdomen. Report says Multiple calculi are seen in Gall bladder, Largest one measures 23.4 mms. No mass is seen. Impression : Multiple calculi in gall bladder . please advise whether it is too big size? whether immediately to be operated? whether it can be naturally flushed out with medicines or water / juice intakes? I express my gratitude for your advice.
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. The ultrasound report of your wife clearly suggests that she has multiple gall stones. The largest on measuring 23.4 mm is quite a big stone. These multiple stones and such large stone cannot be flushed out naturally with medications or any other forms. She needs to undergo operation called 'cholecystectomy' at the earliest. If left alone, it may obstruct the outflow of bile and can lead to obstructive jaundice and its complications. The operation is done now a days by laproscopic procedure, which gives an advantage of being less painful, more quicker, minimal scar formation and with less hospital stay duration. Kindly consult Laproscopic Surgeon in this regard for appropriate management. Hope the information provided is clear. All the best.
