I'm really worried about the multiple calculi in my gallbladder lumen and the largest one is 13mm. The c.b.d is 3.2mm and it's visualized up to its retro pancreatic portion. There's no obvious intraductal calculus seen. What does all this mean? Should I be concerned about the size of the calculi or its location? What are the chances these will cause complications, and what steps should I take next?

The presence of multiple gallstones is identified, but there is no blockage of the bile ducts. If you're not experiencing symptoms, your doctor might suggest a wait-and-see approach, but if you do have symptoms or complications, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be necessary.

View allI've been dealing with idiopathic slow transit constipation and IBS with constipation for over 10 years and I'm not sure if they're the same thing or different. My symptoms are constant bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, and daily constipation. I've tried soaked raisins, drinking lots of water, eating fruits and vegetables, and even a low FODMAP diet, but nothing helps. I'm only able to pass stool with digital evacuation and it's affecting my work and stress levels. Is surgery an option for me at this point?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm wondering if these numbers mean I should get tested for jaundice or something else. Also, are there any ways I can bring these elevated levels down?
