Symptoms Of Pain Point To Gall Bladder. Gall Bladder Ejection Fraction 63%. Doctor Says Normal Condition. Can A Person Have Problem At This Ejection Fraction?

I have been in severe pain . All symptoms point to gallbladder problem. Had a hepatobiliary imaging done today. Results as follows:- Following administration of Ensure(drink) rapid contraction of gallbladder initially. At 28 minutes 63% of the activity in the gallbladder has been expelled. Impression: gallbladder ejection fraction is 63%, normal.No cystic common bile duct obstruction.
This sounds to me like my doctor is going to tell me " everything looks fine" I can tell you Im NOT fine. This pain is excruciating! Can a person still have a gallbladder problem even if its still functioning at 63%?

Hello, I have gone through your query and understood your concern. In my opinion, if you have ejection fraction of 63% and still have pain and other symptoms of cholecystitis there could be other problems of gall bladder too for example, Rokitansky-Aschoff sinuses but if you were confirmed cholecystitis with presenting symptoms cholecystectomy can be done to relieve symptoms if not managed medically. Hope this helped you. Thanks.
