Is Gallbladder Removal Necessary Due To Its Problems?

I'm 24 years old. I'm have an appointment with a docter today about my gallbladder. Should a gallbladder be taken out? After only a few tests ''confirming'' that it is my gallbladder giving me little problems. And after reading about so many people that gallbladders have been removed and having a hard time coping with their lives now, I dont know what to do? Please help me!

Hi,

Your symptoms may be suggestive of gallbladder stones so you should do at least ultrasound or CT scan to evaluate it more accurately. This is caused by stone in bile duct and is very common condition. Stones are see more commonly in obese people and those with diabetes. You need to change your dietary habits first. Need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food.

You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us in every time.

Wish you a good health.

Kindly regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
