Could mild abdominal pain with nausea after gallbladder surgery suggest more blockage?
Patient: I have mild abdominal pain with some nausea but it seems to be getting worse. I had emergency gall bladder surgery in January with many stones and one in the bile duct. I am concerned that I may have some more blockage. Would that be a possibility? Doctor: HelloIt is too early to conclude blockade again.Generally blockade in CBD does't recur after removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).Pain may be due to many other reasons like hepatitis,acidity,renal colic etc.You may need proper clinical evaluation and investigations.I suggest ultrasound of abdomen immediately.Investigation like MRCP may be advised after evaluation.You may also need routine hemogram,random blood sugar,liver function etc.Proper treatment depend upon findings.Get well soon.Take CareDr.Indu Bhushan
