Hi, Greetings !!
This question is related pain between lower right rib & stomach after having food.
My wife aged 42, with slim body structure weight 48, height 5'1'' is facing this pain for last five years. We have done Ultra sound to identify the issue the diagnosis is as follows : "Cholesterosis with small gall bladder calculus, Multiple hyperchoic area are seen attached to gall bladder wall suggestive of cholesterosis and hyperchoic area measuring 5mm diameter seen in gall bladder suggestive of calculus. there is no evidence of pericholecystic fluid."
We did follow up endoscopy to find any other reason of pain other than above but everything looks fine.
We are very keen on saving gall bladder and get rid of pain at same time.
The pain is bearable and reduces after taking digestive things like souf or hingoli etc in an hour or two.
Can you please advice if it can be done ?
Thanks & Regards
