Brief Answer:
No treatment warranted.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Asymptomatic gall stones are very common and they don't require any treatment.
The common indications for surgery in gall bladder stones are pain, cholecystitis, obstructive jaundice, stone in common bike duct.
So in your wife's case there is no indication for surgery or any other treatment as such.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Soft and bland diet.
Detailed Answer:
Yes I have seen the report. As discussed there is no indication for surgery. You may go for elective surgical removal of gall bladder if you want. A lot surgeons suggest elective surgery in view of impending attack of cholcystitis that a person may get. However that is uncertain and hence the choice of elective surgery is given to the patient.
No special diet or lifestyle modifications are needed.
However it is advisable to take soft, bland diet and avoid oily and spicy food.
Good luck.

Thanks Dr.
Local Dr. (internal medicine) has suggested for Laproscopic surgery to removing stone to avoid any emergency.
That's why We were worried n consulted in this forum for right opinion .
As you have recommended for no surgery , We are relieved .
Thanks so much.
Any other advice ??

Brief Answer:
Up to you.
Detailed Answer:
As I told you it's a decision that you have to make. There is no acute indication for surgery.
A person with asymptomatic gall stone may live his whole life symptomless but may on the other hand develop any issues pertaining to it.
I personally don't recommend surgery for asymptomatic gall stones.
Good luck.

The same local Dr then prescribed below medicines to improve the platelet count
1. Tab Uplat -2 tabs 3 times a day for 10 days
2. Tab Folvite - 1 tab in a day for 6 wks
3. Cap Fezip - 1 cap in a day for 6 wks
After 10 days test was repeted for platelet count & found to be 85 thou/mm3 & no improvement
Is there any concern ?? pl advice how to improve platelet count ?

Brief Answer:
Bone marrow examination is required.
Detailed Answer:
Hello. She has Bicytopenia and the treatment given to her is general treatment for anemia.
I would highly recommend Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy to rule out the cause particularly Myelodysplastic syndromes, Megaloblastic anemia as well Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpura.
Get tested and write back with reports.
