Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am six weeks pregnant and there is a stone of 3 to 4 mm in gallbladder. Can I get operated for the same?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand that you are worried about gallstones and it can be stressful whilst undergoing pregnancy. However, let me assure you that most gallstones do not cause any symptoms. Seeing as they are small in size, they can be easily left alone until after the mother has delivered the baby. The risk of miscarriage is always present whenever a pregnant women undergoes any procedure. Are there any symptoms that are bothering the mother? Like jaundice, uncontrollable pain, etc.? I would also request you to share the investigation reports as it will help us make a better decision.
