Question
Hello doctor,
I had gallstone surgery 3 months ago. Recently, I often have severe abdominal pain that lasts about 30 minutes or 1 hour and then it goes away. The doctor told me that severe abdominal pain after gallstone surgery is okay? Are stones recurrent? Thank you.

Hello,
With the question “Is it okay to have severe abdominal pain after gallbladder stone surgery? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
After cholecystectomy, there may be prolonged abdominal pain but very rarely, more common is digestive disorders. If you have persistent severe abdominal pain, you need to go back to the doctor, often need an abdominal ultrasound, a gastroscopy - a colonoscopy to evaluate the specific condition of the disease. There was no recurrence of gallstones.
If you still have questions about severe abdominal pain after gallstone surgery, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
