Ultrasound Showed Thickening Of Gallbladder With Multiple Stones. Healthy Food Habits. Possible Lead To Cancer?
Hi recently I had an ultrasound scan of my gallbladder which showed thickening of gallbladder and multiple stones. I am Having very mild symptoms as in left side where pancreas is. I am watching my diet and cutting down on fatty foods. I am thin and eat quite healthily. I am concerned that thickening of gallbladder may lead to cancer. Can u advise me please. My GP said to do nothing if not having severe symptoms

Hi and welcome to HCM.Thanks for the query.
Thickening is in most cases sign of chronic cholecystitis and extremely rarely it can lead to cancer. since today cholecystectomy is routine procedure i suggest to do it since it will relieve your symptoms and inable possiblity of cancer development. unfortunately diet isnt enough sometimes.
Wish you good health. Regards
