There may be no visible signs or gallstone symptoms. The following indications and symptoms may appear when a gallstone obstructs the bile duct: - A sharp, sudden abdominal pain on the upper right side - A sharp, sudden abdominal pain in the middle, immediately below the breastbone - Right shoulder pain - Back pain between the shoulder blades - Nausea or vomiting - Gallstone pain might last anywhere from a few minutes to many hours.
Certain tests and procedures can diagnose gallstones. The two most common ones are: Abdominal ultrasound: This is the most commonly used test to diagnose gallstones. A transducer device is moved back and forth across the stomach area. The signals received in a computer are created into images of the gallstones Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS): In this procedure, a thin tube called the endoscope is passed through the mouth into the digestive tract. A transducer in the tube produces sound waves, which are then converted into images of the condition. In addition to these, there are also imaging tests which include Oral Cholecystography, Hepatobiliary Iminodiacetic Acid (HIDA) scan, Computerized Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Cholangio Pancreatography (MRCP) and Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangio Pancreatography (ERCP). Sometimes, blood tests are also done to identify infection, jaundice, gallstone pancreatitis or other complications caused by gallstones.
Gallbladder Removal (Cholecystectomy): If gallstones become recurrent or problematic, a cholecystectomy might be advised by your physician. The removal of the gallbladder does not impact overall survival, as one can lead a healthy life without it. Instead, bile produced by the liver flows directly into the small intestine, bypassing the gallbladder. Medications for Gallstone Dissolution: Some specific medications can aid in dissolving gallstones. However, this dissolution process can extend over several months or even years. It's important to note that there's a possibility of gallstone recurrence once the treatment is discontinued.
Your doctor may recommend gallstone or gallbladder surgery when the gallbladder is severely swollen or infected. Two types of surgeries are commonly performed i.e., a laparoscopic surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) or an open surgery (open cholecystectomy).
