General Surgeon,  's  Response
hi.

noted history of gallstones and frequent occurrence of symptoms. an acute vs chronic attack of cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder) secondary to cholelithiasis (gallstones) must be considered. it is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics (such as ultrasound, liver function tests, alkaline phosphatase, complete blood count, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. definitive treatment is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder. it could be done laparoscopically (goldstandard) or thru open technique. also, an elective (scheduled) surgery (vs emergent surgery) has better outcomes and less risks of developing post-operative complications. anti-spasmodics may temporarily alleviate the pain. low fat diet is also recommended.

hope this helps.

good day!!
