Gallstones Treatment

Gallbladder ultrasound and gallstone evaluation in Mumbai

Overview

Gallstones are solid, pebble-like deposits that form inside the gallbladder from components of digestive fluid. Some remain silent, while others can move and block bile flow, causing sudden and severe symptoms.

Common Symptoms

  • Sudden intense pain in the upper-right abdomen
  • Pain that may radiate toward the right shoulder or back
  • Nausea or vomiting during a severe pain episode
  • Indigestion and bloating after fatty or greasy meals
  • Sweating and restlessness during severe abdominal pain

Treatment and Care

Gallstones that do not cause symptoms may be monitored after medical evaluation. When stones trigger pain or block a bile duct, endoscopic treatment or surgery may be considered depending on their location and the patient’s condition. Patients from Matunga can consult a gastroenterologist to understand suitable options, while those in Parel can receive evaluation for gallbladder and bile-duct problems.

Care Highlights

Ultrasound and clinical evaluation of gallbladder symptoms
Assessment for bile-duct blockage or jaundice
Coordination of endoscopic or surgical care when needed

Frequently Asked Questions

Do all gallstones need treatment?

Gallstones without symptoms may not need immediate treatment, but the decision depends on scan findings, symptoms and medical history.

Can gallstones block the bile duct?

Yes. A stone can move into a bile duct and cause pain, infection, pancreatitis or jaundice.

When is ERCP used for gallstones?

ERCP may be used when stones are present in the common bile duct and need to be removed or when bile drainage must be restored.

Had consulted Dr Parekh a couple of years back for severe GERD. My experience was that he took the time to listen and understand my symptoms which prior doctors had not done. For patients who are already suffering, finding the right doctor is a boon but finding one who leads with proficiency and empathy is rare - definitely recommend.
