What is it?
Gallstones
Gallstones are stones that form inside the gallbladder. Many people get pain after fatty food; some get serious infection or jaundice.
Symptoms
Do you have these?
- Pain in the upper right or middle of the belly
- Pain after oily or heavy food
- Nausea, vomiting, gas
- Fever or yellow eyes (needs urgent care)
Treatment
How Dr. Kollol treats it
- Laparoscopic cholecystectomy: the gallbladder is removed through small keyhole cuts.
- Less pain, small scars and a faster return to work than open surgery.
When to see a doctor
Act early
Repeated upper-belly pain after food, or yellow eyes with fever — see a surgeon.
