I've been diagnosed with gallstones and my USG report shows them clearly. What symptoms should I watch out for that might mean I need to get my gallbladder removed? Sometimes I get this sharp pain under my ribs after eating fatty foods but it goes away - is that a sign surgery might be necessary?

I recently had my gall bladder removed, it's been about 10 days now, and they've taken the stitches out. I'm wondering when it would be safe to start having sex again. Can you give me any advice or guidelines on this?

It is generally safe to resume sexual activity after gall bladder surgery once your stitches have been removed and your incision site has healed completely. However, it is recommended to wait at least 2-4 weeks after surgery before engaging in sexual activity to allow your body to fully recover. Remember to listen to your body and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any concerns.
