My mom is 70 and has asthma but also gallstones. Is it safe for her to have surgery for the gallstones given her asthma condition? I'm really worried about the risks
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's safety, especially with both asthma and gallstones. While asthma does increase the risk of complications during surgery, with proper planning and management, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) can be performed safely in elderly patients with asthma

I have a 1.5 cm gallstone and my surgeon recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Are there any other treatment options besides surgery I should consider? I'm a bit worried about going under the knife and want to explore alternatives if possible.
This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.
