Is Surgery Necessary For Gall Stones And Helicobacter Pylori?
Hi. I was diagnosed through an ultrasound of multiple gallstones, the biggest measures 16mm, associated with thickened wall denoting calculus cholecyctitis. In my stool test, i am positive for helicobacter pylori. The doctor said i need to undergo surgery. I'm not sure if the surgy is for that h pylori or for that gallstones. What are the risks of the operation? And what is the consequences if i delay the surgical operation. Thanks a lot.
