Gall Bladder

I have a gall bladder stone the size of 0.9cm. I am not having any pain or symptoms. My prostate was enlarged, for that I did the ultrasound. Do I need to go for an operation to remove the stones or i can take anything to get rid of it..? Is it dangerous? ## Hello, Kukku! How are you? As reported by the NIH, that is a bit large to be able to pass on its own, so it may require special treatment to help it pass, such as the surgery. And yes, they can be dangerous, because they can block the kidneys, which may cause a back up of toxins that could potentially result in kidney failure. Is there anything else I can help? ## One stone was seen in my gallbladder / neck region that's 0.9cm. Does it need surgery or medicine? ## I am a heart patient and 1 stent was applied in 2014. Now 1 gall ...

My mother is experiencing pain in the upper abdomen from the center to the right side. A recent ultrasound indicated gall bladder stone (0.9 cm) CHOLELIHIASIS. Historically she has been treated for CA ovarian and completed her last cycle of chemo in august 2013. We recently saw her oncologist after the ultrasound and he prescribed meftal spas and razo D in the mean time. I wanted to ask if we can safely give her voveran 50 mg for instant pain relief. Thanks.

After one tablet of amox-clav 875 mg, I developed shakiness, rapid heartbeat, extreme flushing of my face, and general feeling of fainting. Went to ER and after some treatment, was released. Following days, experienced extreme pain in upper abdomen area. After two more trips to ER, was admitted and underwent battery of test showing gall bladder was shot. Had surgery to remove. Could this have been caused by the amox-clav? ## It's highly unlikely that just one dosage would cause such severe damage to your gallbladder. Learn more Augmentin details here. In many cases, it may go bad due to someone having a severely high fat diet and sometimes there really is no reason, it just happens. Learn more gallbladder details here. How has your recovery been?

Assuming recommended dosage of Sandoz chlolestyramine powder is once a day, when is the best time to take it ? At bedtime ? An hour after breakfast ? An hour after evening dinner meal ? It is my understanding the powder should not be taken too soon after a meal.and/or before a meal. ## Actually, the directions list that it should be taken before meals. Learn more Cholestyramine details here. But they don't specifically say that it should be before breakfast, lunch or dinner. Have you asked your doctor about it? They may have specific reasons you should take it at a certain time.

I have a pill to help with gall bladder pain from a friend. (I KNOW) ! It is a mustard yellow, shaped like a football and has 93-12 printed in black. ## Hi, Tracy! Sorry you're miserable. However, this tablet is not a pain reliever. It contains 40mgs of Pantroprazole in a time released formulation, it is a proton pump inhibitor that's used to help reduce the amount of acid produced by the stomach to treat or prevent conditions such as ulcers, heartburn, GERD and gastritis. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, flatulence and stomach pain. Learn more Pantoprazole details here. They may have misunderstood where your pain is coming from. Is there anything else I can help with?

First of all research, research, research MY DOCTOR even had his removed . Your body needs a gallbladder your liver stores vitamin A ,D , E ,F ,K , and so on & also tells you when your stool or urine is to dark or to lite but without out your gallbladder your liver has no place to store many things your body needs also without a gallbladder ( no gallstone ? ) well right but there is a lot of gem that build up over time your may not feel any pain at all it may take 5 to 10 years but when all the gems & juck builds up & you go to the doctor all I CAN SAY IS I wish you well. ## Hello, Christopher! How are you? It has been proven definitively that we can live normal, healthy lives without the gall bladder. People who undergo surgery to remove it rarely have any bilary problems f...

There is only one stone in my gall bladder and I am always having a burning pain in the upper part of my stomach / liver, and there is also swelling in my stomach as if I am pregnant, but I am only 23 years old. I am taking the Rabeprazole DSR tablets in the morning or whenever I am having pain in my stomach. Please advise me on what I should do moving forward. ## When I was younger, I had a terrible burning pain on and off in the upper part of my abdomen and swelling too, just as you described. I finally couldn't take it anymore and went into the hospital and found out I had gall stones and because I ignored it, they were about to pass into my liver and I could have died! My suggestion is that you go to a doctor and tell him you suspect you have a stone in your gall bladder! Then h...

I have my Gall Bladder ladden with stone removed through a key-hole surgery four days back. I have skipped taking of tablet Sebivo 600mg on the day of my surgery on the advice of the Surgeon. But I have not yet resumed the regime of the said tablet since then for fear of having adverse effect on liver after the said surgery. I am confused as to the resumption of the said regime. Please advise .

Since I had my gall bladder removed in April I had had stomach pain etc. After having a colonoscopy and in endoscopy the doc gave me welchol. He said it would solve my stomach problems. I can find no info for any indication other than high cholesterol. Has anyone heard of using welchol for stomach problems?????????? Pat ## rI too was givenwelchol after gall bl ## MedLinePlus has an article detailing the specific details on this medication. The active ingredient in Welchol, which is Colesevelam binds to bile acids, since those who have had their gall bladders removed may sometimes experience gastro-intestinal issues due to excess bile, it is sometimes prescribed to help alleviate such issues. Is it helping either of you?

How is your dad doing? Is he experiencing any symptoms from the low blood pressure, such as nausea, dizziness, extreme drowsiness or shallow breathing? That needs to be checked out, before it can be decided if he should continue the Olmesar AM. He may need to switch to a different medication, if he's experience side effects.

I have multiple gallstones and suffered from a gall bladder attack almost 3 years ago. I have been avoiding getting my gall bladder out. I have been taking Ursodiol for almost 3 years and have not had a gall bladder attack. I just had a scan done on my gall bladder and it is unchanged from 3 years ago and my Dr. reccommends taking it out. While the scan was being done on my gallbladder they also scanned my liver which showed fatty infiltration. My good cholestral was high, but my blood work was normal. My Dr. told me not to drink for 3 months and we will check the liver again. My question is, Could the use of the Ursodiol be causing the fatty infiltration to my liver? ## I had fatty tissue in my liver way before I started using Urso. If the doctor's are telling you to take out your ...

My wife had gall bladder stone removal surgery in 2005. After a year, she developed Acute gastritis and stomach pain. The doc prescribed Pan d and multivitamin. But now these medicines are not giving relief to her. Kindle suggest the treatment module required. Many thanks.

Used fallowing Gall Bladder surgery/Left hand small finger went numb after taking this and in 12 hours my whole hand and wrist numb /fallowing morning while left hand and wrist was numb then right hand started getting numb and realized it had to be this medicine . Stopped taking in morning and by evening my hands had almost returned to normal so it had to be this perscription. ## I have never heard of that reaction, but, some people get really dizzy on it so I guess one could become numb? Do you want to sell what your not using? ## When I say hand was numb what I mean is no feeling when I touched with other hand . Sorry but I wouldn't want to be responsible for passing meds. to others. ## That is not a normal side effect of either the Acetaminophen or the Hydrocodone in this medicat...

What have people done who need surgery (probably open surgery for gall bladder) and taking Pradaxa. I have fears about having a stroke if I stop taking it and I know that I will have to take it. Thoughts please? ## In most cases, they have you stop it for a few days, before surgery, then resume taking it, once any risk of bleeding has passed, but you should follow your doctor's instructions on what to do, according to the NIH. Gall bladder surgery is rarely fully open, now, it usually just requires a small incision to insert a microscopic instrument. The amount of bleeding and healing time is usually very minimal. Have you been provided any pre-op instructions, yet? ## No, don't know for sure if I will need it (feeling better). I have a large wide-month hernia in my abdomen (tha...

I have been taking terbinafine for about 37 days now. I also had my gallbladder removed on April 8th of this year. My eating habits are relatively the same, yet I have gained 13 pounds in a month. I guess my question is did the medication make me gain weight or is it because I have no gall bladder? I also have extreme belly bloating now that I'm very unhappy about. ## Hello, Christine! How are you? No, it hasn't been known to cause weight gain according to the FDA reports, but it has been known to cause the bloating. Other sid effects may include nausea, ear congestion, diarrhea and taste disturbance. Are you on any other medications? ## Verwon Thanks for replying. I am also taking effexor for mild depression and anxiety. Dr. Says effexor won't cause weight gain. I made sure...
