Sudden pain in the upper right abdomen or below the breastbone.
Nausea or vomiting after fatty meals.
Indigestion, bloating, or gas that persists.
Pain that radiates to the right shoulder or back.
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), which can signal a blocked bile duct.

Ignoring these signs may lead to serious complications such as gallbladder inflammation or pancreatitis.

Excess cholesterol in bile, which crystallizes into stones.
High levels of bilirubin, often linked to liver disease or certain blood disorders.
Poor gallbladder emptying, which allows bile to become concentrated.
Obesity and unhealthy diet high in fats.
Pregnancy, which increases hormone levels affecting bile composition.
Rapid weight loss or fasting.

Intense abdominal pain, often after eating fatty or heavy meals.
Nausea, vomiting, or indigestion.

How is Gallstones Diagnosed?

Doctors use a combination of physical exams and diagnostic tests to confirm gallstones:

Checking the abdomen for tenderness or swelling.
The most common and effective test to detect gallstones.
To identify infections, liver issues, or blocked bile ducts.
In complicated cases to provide detailed images of the bile ducts and gallbladder.
Assesses gallbladder function and bile flow.

Accurate diagnosis helps determine whether surgery is needed immediately or can be scheduled electively.

Advanced Treatment Options for Gallstones

At Pristyn Care Delhi, advanced surgical treatments are offered for effective and long-lasting relief.

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder Removal): The gold standard treatment where small incisions and a camera are used to remove the gallbladder. This procedure is minimally invasive, causes less pain, and promotes faster recovery.
Open Cholecystectomy: In rare or complex cases, a larger incision may be required. Recovery time is longer compared to laparoscopic surgery.
Non-Surgical Approaches: Medications or shockwave therapy may dissolve stones in select patients, but recurrence is common.

Laparoscopic surgery is the most recommended and widely performed method because it is safe, efficient, and has a high success rate.

Recovery Time

Recovery depends on the treatment chosen. Patients undergoing laparoscopic gallbladder removal usually return home the same day or within 24 hours. Most people resume normal daily activities within 1 week. Full recovery with return to strenuous activity typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. Open surgery recovery may extend up to 6 weeks.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before Surgery:
Doctors conduct a full medical evaluation including blood tests, imaging scans, and anesthesia clearance. Patients are advised to fast for a few hours before surgery.

During Surgery:
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. The surgeon makes small incisions in the abdomen to remove the gallbladder using a laparoscope.

After Surgery:
Patients are monitored for a few hours before being discharged. Pain is mild and managed with medication. The doctor provides dietary advice, wound care instructions, and a follow-up schedule.
