I was sick the other day,had severe pain in my lower abdomen and was said to have gallstone..?

Question

After the 1st visit i was not feeling pain but was worried as i had jaundice but after that i went home.

After a day or two my jaundice went away and i was back to normal.

But eventually i got the pain back again (maybe after i ate too much fatty food) and the attacks came back.

And i got this jaundice again.

The thing is i just want to know whether my gallstone problem now is serious or not cause, i am not experiencing any nausea,vomiting or chest pain anymore after my 2nd visit to the hospital.

I want to know cause i am thinking of doing the natural remedy to remove my gallstones at home now.

Thanks ppl..do advice!

Answer 1

You will never really completely get rid of gallstones by home remedies or anything like that at home. And if you do they are most likely to come back again.

You get a gallbladder attack after you have eaten fatty foods. It is usually extremely painful and depending on the size of your gallstones it can be excruciating. Some people even say that it is worse than giving birth to a child but I would never know that because I havent given birth.

Women are more likely to get gallstones and they are usually in their 40's and over weight. But that is not always the case, there are other ways of getting them to.

Have you had an ultrasound yet? If not then I highly suggest that you see your doctor and make an appointment for one pretty much a.s.a.p. The sooner the better.

If your gallstones are not too big then the doctor will most likely suggest 'key hole surgery'. Which is where they make about 4 holes in your stomach and use a camera and other device to remove the gall bladder. Afterwards you will only need one or two nights in hospital.

If you have large gallstones then they may suggest open surgery where they just take the gall badder out without using holes. But you will be left with a much bigger scar.

I had gallstones when I was 13 and had to have key hole surgery but it was much better afterwards and now all I have is four extremely small scars on my stomach.

I really hope this information helps you and I wish you the best of luck.

If you want to know anymore about any of this feel free to email me :)

Gallstones are very serious and cause extreme pain. They can and usually do block the Bile duct in the liver. Call your doctor now and you will likley need surgery. DO NOT  mess around with home remedies for something this serious!
