The cost may also include the cost of sedation or anesthesia during the procedure. Finally, the cost may also include the cost of any necessary follow-up care or treatment.

Q: What is the outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction treatment after gallbladder removal?

The outcome for patients with bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can vary depending on the obstruction's cause, severity, and duration. Medication: In some cases, a bile duct obstruction after gallbladder removal can be treated with a combination of medications, such as antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, to help relieve symptoms and clear the blockage. ERCP: In more severe cases, a procedure known as an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be needed to remove the obstruction. Surgery: In specific cases, including cancerous growth, surgery may involve removal of the blocked section of the duct or, in severe cases, rerouting of the bile ducts through a procedure called a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Q: Is a blocked bile duct an emergency?

Bile duct blockage can cause life-threatening infections if not treated in time. Eventually, they can lead to chronic liver diseases like biliary cirrhosis.

Q: Is the procedure for removing gallbladder while pregnant safe?

Recent advancements in laparoscopic surgery have made the procedure less invasive and have a shorter recovery time, which can decrease the risk of complications for both the mother and the baby. Also, this type of surgery can be performed with regional anesthesia, which is considered safer than general anesthesia during pregnancy.

Gallbladder's a tiny organ storing bile. But sometimes it acts up, needing removal via cholecystectomy. This surgery improves your well-being, relieving issues like tummy aches and poor digestion caused by gallbladder troubles. Following a gastroenterologist's post-op instructions is crucial.

Hello, I am a 19yo male. Months ago, I had some neurological symptoms and went to hospital. There, a blood test showed that I had really low B12 vitamin (under 90 pg/mL). I had some shots to increase B12 levels and hospital adviced me to go to GP and have gastroscopy and colonoscopy to find the cause of the deficiency, because it was not normal at that age to have that low b12 levels. So, the days I was taking the B12 shots and planning to go to a GP, I had some bowel symptoms, including changes in stool size (small-thin and rounded / however not hard to pass), and rarely a little blood on them. When I went to the GP, I told him the whole story and told me that I had to do some other blood tests first to see if there is any gastric inflammation and then we would see if endoscopy is needed. After doing several blood tests (ECR, CRP, etc..) and faecal calprotectin test, GP told me that results were normal and did not show any inflammation in stomach or colon, so no endoscopy was needed. He told me that these symptoms were from functional gastrointestinal disorders and hemmorhoids. All of these happened like 6 months before. Now, I still have small-thin and rounded stools (rarely i pass normal stools but most of times they are like that) - blood is very rare and in small amount. Generally, my diet is normal (includes fiber), i drink a lot of water, no anxiety, not anaemic, normal weight and I exercise. So, these changes in bowel habits that happened months ago (without having any lifestyle change) + little blood rarely + the B12 defficiency I had, make me think I should visit another GP and push for a colonoscopy. I tried to search if increasing B12 would cause such changes in bowel habits, but did not find something. The only family history I know are that some first degree relatives had a small B12 defficiency without symptoms and second degree relative had gastrectomy a lot of years ago. I am a little panicked because Ive been seeing colon cancer is on the rise among young people and unreasoned bowel changes that dont leave soon + blood (however mine is very rarely and little) may be red flag. Especially most cases in young people are advanced stages becaus they are not caught early. Thanks for reading till the end, what do you suggest me to do? Go to another GP? And even push for endoscopy? Finally, could the cause of hard pebble stool be somehow (?) the elevation of B12 so my system need some time to go back to normal again? Because B12 deficiency was slowly developing for years.

Male | 19

While low B12 levels can affect the body in many ways, they usually don’t impact bowel habits like this. It’s great that you’ve had some tests, and they’ve ruled out any inflammation in your stomach or colon. Your symptoms might be due to functional gastrointestinal disorders or hemorrhoids, which are quite common and generally not too serious. Keep an eye on your symptoms, and try not to worry too much. However, if you’re still concerned, getting a second opinion from another doctor might help give you peace of mind.

Dehiscence stomach wound almost closed but bleeding a little is that ok, wearing eakin wound pouch

Female | 52

The stomach wound seems unhealed, and some bleeding persists. The reason is that the wound hasn't fully closed. It's good that you are using a wound pouch. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding continues, contact your gastroenterologist.

Am 26years old am feeling like bloating and sharp pain in lower abdomen

Female | 26

The feeling of being full with a sharp pain in the lower abdomen could be gas in your tummy or a stomach bug. Or maybe something you ate just didn't agree with you. Eating smaller meals and avoiding the foods that usually make you gassy can help. Drinking water regularly can also be beneficial. If the pain doesn't go away, visit a gastroenterologist.

Female | 31

Experiencing a burning sensation after eating can be caused by factors like acid reflux (GERD), spicy or acidic foods, food allergies, ulcers, or other reasons. It's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. They can assess your symptoms and medical history to identify the underlying cause and recommend appropriate measures to alleviate the discomfort.

MY sister underwent a laparoscopic surgery to remove gall bladder due to stone and found appendix also , was also removed. Now its been 2 months and she is experiencing weight loss and less appetite. when checked blood found SGOT-72.54 AND SGPT 137.47, what is the reason

Female | 27

Your sister's weight loss and reduced appetite after surgery are normal. Her body is adjusting to the change. High SGOT and SGPT blood levels indicate liver inflammation, which is common post-surgery. This also affects appetite. Follow up with her doctor. They may recommend diet changes or medicines to help her recover and regain appetite.

Hlo ma'am mai 3 may ko unwanted 72 tablet Li thi aur kl se mere pet me drd h aur loose motions h kya kru

Female | 25

I understand you’re feeling sick after taking Unwanted 72. The pain in your stomach and diarrhea can be due to the side effects of the drug. This happens because it contains hormones that affect your body. Drink lots of water so that you don’t get dehydrated. Eat light meals such as bananas, rice, and bread. Take a rest and do not eat spicy or greasy foods. If the symptoms persist then please visit a gastroenterologist.

I woke up to a weird feeling in my chest and whenever I do fast or intense activity for example jump or run I feel something go up to my throat and make me cough it doesn’t hurt just a little weird

Male | 18

Your symptoms could be of acid reflux or the more severe form called the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Acid reflux can be defined as the condition where the liquid in the stomach drains back into the throat area, causing a burning sensation in the chest and throat. I recommend you to see a gastroentroogist who will help you to diagnose your condition and propose the proper treatment.

I feel something breathing in my lower stomach

Female | 30

You feel a strange movement in your belly, and it's a bit frightening. However, it might be normal body processes occurring. Your intestines could be moving gases through them. Alternatively, muscles contracting can cause that sensation. Consuming meals quickly or certain foods can trigger this feeling. To find relief, try taking smaller bites, sipping water, and eating gentle foods like rice or bananas. Visit a gastroenterologist if the problem persists.

Female | 64

Vomiting, headaches, and pain on her right side can mean she has pancreatitis, which is very serious. Take her to the hospital now. They’ll be able to find out what’s wrong and make her feel better. Also, bring along her insulin and any medicine she takes for high blood pressure.

I am 27 Yr old male I m feeling stomach burning from past 15 days

Male | 27

Stomach burning could be due to a couple of reasons. One might think that the burning sensation in the stomach is caused by hot foods or stress from being one of two but acid reflux can also be the reason. There are other symptoms present like bloating or chest pain. To overcome this, take only small meals and cut off spicy or acidic foods. Another thing, do not eat just before going to bed. If it is a serious condition, you could get a gastroenterologist's consultation.

Female | 17

You're going through a tough time with those stomach pains, which you think might be constipation. Constipation can cause belly aches, nausea, and the urge to pass gas without relief. It's important to drink plenty of water, eat fiber-rich fruits and vegetables, and do some exercise to help your body function better. If the pain continues or worsens, don't hesitate to consult a gastroenterologist for advice.
