Cholelithiasis

2017-10-23 19:13:06
I'm 27yrs old girl. I have gallstones since 2015 (multiple mobile calculi, average size of 5mm & largest one is 8mm). I don't get frequent pain. The first pain which i got was in the November month of 2015. Second pain on 22th oct 2017. Both pain were terrible. Extreme pain. I have done sonography & took advise of 3 surgeons. Doctors advised me straight for laparoscopic surgery (gall bladder removal). I wanna know, is there any other alternative? Surgery is compulsory?

[ ] Hi, if you have pain in right upper abdomen that means this is symptomatic gall bladder stone and the advice is to get the gall bladder removed laparoscopically , which is a safe surgery and is choice in today's world. There is no any other way to treat it except surgery.
