Question

I have a 31mm gall bladder calculus but my gallbladder wall thickness and CBD are normal. Is it possible to treat this without surgery? If I do get surgery, will the stones come back again?

Yes, it's possible to treat a 31mm gallbladder calculus without surgery, and the likelihood of stones returning after surgery varies. While surgical removal (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, non-surgical options like medication or percutaneous cholangioscopy may be considered. The risk of gallstones returning after surgery is low if the gallbladder is removed.

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried about my recent bilirubin test results. The direct photometry reading was 0.36 mgdl when it should be between 0 and 0.30, and the indirect calculated bilirubin was at 1.6 mgdl, higher than the normal range of 0 to 0.9. My total photometry was 1.96 mgdl, outside the 0.30 to 1.20 range too. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean? Also, I'm wondering if these levels might affect my health in any way, particularly when it comes to having intercourse. Should I be concerned about anything specific?
