Hello doctor. The doctor asked if gallstones can be dissolved, or should I have surgery? Currently, there are 3 large and 1 small stones in my bile, 0.9mm in size/tablet. Thank you doctor for sharing information to help me.
Anonymous question
Answer
Hello. Gallbladder lithotripsy is not effective and may soon recur. So usually with symptomatic gallstones, doctors will recommend cholecystectomy.
However, before giving any treatment regimen, you need to go to the hospital to check, do the necessary tests and ultrasounds. Based on your current health condition, the doctor will recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.
You can register for an examination at the nearest Vinmec Health System hospital or hospitals with good examination quality.
Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec Health System.
