HI,
I understand your concern.
Fortunately incidence of complication s of gall bladder in pregnancy.Inflammation of gall bladder is less common in pregnancy.They do not affect pregnancy.
So asymptomatic gall stones should not be the cause for postponing conception.
Mostly gallbladder stones in pregnancy are managed by preventive & palliative majors - In few non responding patients only are subjected to laproscopic cholecystectomy- without disturbing pregnancy.
Preventon -
-It is by decreasing fat intake to onle 25% of normal caloric intake in a day.
- Reducing sugar/carbohydrate intake,
- increasing fibers in diet,
- having 500-700 mg calcium daily. This prevents stone formation by getting bound to bile in digestive tract.
Palliative management
It is by giving medicines to control inflammation or pain if it occurs.
Surgical management-
In complicated/ repeated inflammations surgery is considered to manage gall stones n pregnancy.
Thanks.
