Should I Be Concerned For Small Stones And Collapsed Gall Bladder?
Hi, I've had an US today to see if I have gallstones, the doctor who examined me found a couple of small ones but also said my Gallbladder is collapsed, please can you tell me if I should worry. I know I have to make another appointment with my GP but the waiting time is making me anxious.

Hi
I have gone through your complaintsYour sonogram report says that collapsed gall bladder with couple of gall stones.nothing to worry unless you develop jaundice , severe pain at right upper abdomen & fever.if you develop any of these symptoms please consult Doctor immediately.as you are saying small stony there is possibilty of coming down to bile duct causing obstructive jaundice.gall bladder stones are well visualised when it is distended.best is go for scan in fasting.before night avoid fatty meal.
Thank u
Best regards
