Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My mother's ultrasound has been done. As the report says gall bladder is normally distended with normal wall thickness. Multiple tiny calculi are seen. CBD is of normal caliber. No intraluminal calculi noted. Impression: > Cholelithiasis > Hepatomegaly with moderate fatty changes in the liver. Can this problem be recovered with medicine? Or an operation has to be done? Please suggest me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Cholelithiasis or gallstones are very common. It is something you should not lose sleep over. However, I would like to know why did your mother undergo an ultrasound? Did she have pain or post-meal dyspepsia? Whilst this condition cannot be treated with medicines, there is no reason to get it surgically removed immediately unless she is suffering from regular pain, is a known case of diabetes, or the stones have migrated to the CBD. That being said, it is always best to get it removed after discussing the risk Vs benefit of the surgery with your doctor. Kindly update about any other medical conditions your mother is suffering from and I will be happy to guide you further.
