Is surgery necessary for gallbladder?
Just 4 days ago, i had my 2nd ultrasound in the gallbladder. Its diagnosis is Cholelithiasis and Chronic Cholecystitis. My Gastroenterologist Doctor recommended me to undergo an abdominal surgery. Is it necessary to remove the gallbladder with my diagnosis? Why can't i have a medicine that will melt the gallstones inside my gallbladder? What could be the right options? Taking the surgery or not?
