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.
Been having mild discomfort mid to upper right abdomen, comes and goes. Ultrasound appears normal except cbd dilation of 8.9mm. Couldn t see all of cbd due to bowel. Possible stones? Not overweight but not great diet and regular drinker, also suffer from mild acid reflux controlled by 75-150mg ranitidine per day. 50 year old male.
Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand your concern. Common bile duct greater than 7 mm is due to obstruction of CBD by three things. Stones tumour Helminths I would suggest you MRCP followed by ERCP. Take Proton Pump inhibitor like esomeprazole 40mg daily for acid reflex. Hope it helps best. Take your best care. Regards Dr Ejaz
