A year ago my partner was in the emergency room suffering from severe abdominal pain. After several misdiagnosis a ultrasound provided the answer, GALLSTONES!
Several gallstones ranging up to 17mm in size were discovered inside the gallbladder. Surgery was recommended as soon as possible.
Not knowing a lot about gallstones or indeed the gallbladder I started researching. I was astonished with what I found, not only did surgery remove the gallstones, they removed the entire gallbladder! Why? I was told “Because it’s easier, and people that have had gallstones are likely to get them again”. I assumed it would at least solve the problem of future gallstones, wrong! Even after surgery gallstones can be created within the liver and bile duct providing further complications.
Their has to be a more efficient way to get rid of gallstones that does not require surgery and removing an internal organ.
