Hello doctor. I had just had my gallbladder removed 6 days ago when I had sex. So if I take the emergency contraceptive pill, is there a risk of recurrence of bile duct stones? Ask your doctor for advice.

Answer
Hello!
If you have had your gallbladder removed, do you have stones in your bile ducts? Have stones been removed from the bile duct? If there is an intervention to remove bile duct stones, then there is a fear of recurrence. Although there are many causes of recurrent bile duct stones, the reason for the emergency contraceptive pill is unknown.
