Talk to experienced doctor online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
The ideal treatment is gall bladder removal i.e. cholecystectomy via laparoscopy called as Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. But, age needs to be considered too, which increases the morbidity. Also, since, her report also says peptic disease, she can undergo an UGIE.
Next Steps
Upper GI Endoscopy
Health Tips
- Start her on PPIs for the meantime.
- Also, Gall Stone Solubilizing agents.
