Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My 77-year-old father is unwell, and we consulted a gastroenterologist in our vicinity. Following his recommendation, we underwent the prescribed tests. I would like to provide the blood report, CT scan report, and doctor's prescription for your review. Kindly advise on the diagnosis and suitable treatment.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern. I have reviewed the reports you attached (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity), there is definite evidence of gall bladder involvement. He has cholelithiasis, which is causing the symptoms mentioned in your doctor's prescription. To provide more precise guidance, I would require a comprehensive medical history of your father. However, based on your query, his symptoms can be attributed to gallstones in the gall bladder. A cholecystectomy might be necessary. For more accurate advice, kindly provide his complete details. I hope this has helped you. Kindly follow up if you have more doubts.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
