What Are The Symptoms Of Gallbladder Problems?
Can you advise me what would be the symptoms of gall bladder problems or gall stone problems. Would an X-Ray or CT Scan reveal either of these problems. I am currently experiencing intense pain under my left hand rib cage and some discomfort under the right hand side. I do not have diareaha or constipation and have regular bowel movements.

Hi welcome to health care magic....
I can understand your concern....
In gall stone chronic discomfort can be present at right side abdomen...
Sometime it might be asymptomatic....
For it's diagnosis USG will be sufficient..
CT scan done only if needed....
If stone is there than udiliv can be prescribed....
If it leads acute cholecystitis attack in future than cholecystectomy done....
If left side pain predominant than for gastrtitis pantoprazole taken...
Take care
Advise : physician consultation for examination...
