The symptoms you are experiencing, including swelling and ache near the stitches, may be indicative of PCS (Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome), a common side effect of gallbladder removal.
The possible causes of these symptoms include:
- Residual gallstones
- Scar adhesion irritation
- Duct obstruction
- Bile leakage in nearby areas
- Digestive issues
- Stress
Next Steps
Go for Ultrasound or ERCP to determine the underlying cause of your condition. After the test results, I suggest consulting with a physician in-person or online through Practo for an individualized treatment plan.
Health Tips
- Avoid foods that trigger your condition.
- Refrain from consuming fatty, greasy, or spicy meals.
- Engage in regular physical activity and exercise.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
