Hi, I am a 15 year old and about three moths ago i had to get surgery due to gall stones. After the surgery I was ok until about a week ago I have started to get sever pain like before the surgery, Im not sure if i should be concerned due to the pain that comes and goes.
Hi.noted history of gallstones. Yes, gallstone disease can cause abdominal pain (specifically termed as biliary colic), which could range from mild-severe in intensity, depending on the acuteness or chronicity of onset and inflammation of your gallbladder and biliary tree secondary to obstruction due to your stones. A consultation with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation if best. Other diagnostics (such as liver function tests, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, blood counts, ERCP/MRCP, etc.) and management (medical and/surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. Definitive management is cholecystectomy (removal of your gallbladder along with stones), which can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat low salt diet is also advised. Hope this helps. Good day!!~ Chat Doctor.
