Hello,
With the question “Can women 1 month after giving birth by cesarean section have cholecystectomy? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gallstones are normally not dangerous, can cause no symptoms for life. When gallstones have symptoms such as pain, cholecystitis, treatment needs to be considered.
The current common method of treating gallstones is laparoscopic cholecystectomy, in some cases the gallbladder is drained before surgery.
1 month after giving birth, gallbladder stones cause a lot of pain, you need to see a specialist in Gastroenterology - Hepatobiliary Surgery at the hospital to consider surgery.
If you still have questions about cholecystectomy, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
