Gallbladder disease, a common condition affecting nearly 20% of the population, often stems from gallstones that can lead to inflammation and excruciating pain. If you’re experiencing intermittent pain in the upper right abdomen, consult your primary care doctor for a gallbladder assessment, and don’t hesitate to reach out to New Jersey board-certified gallbladder surgeon Dr. Seun Sowemimo for further diagnosis and guidance.
Gallbladder Disease Symptoms
If you are suffering from stones in the gallbladder, you may experience intermittent pain in the right upper abdominal region. The pain typically starts after eating and may cause nausea, vomiting or bloating. Fever may or may not be present.
People who have severe symptoms from gallstones (usually diagnosed by an ultrasound) frequently have their gallbladder removed through a minimally invasive procedure called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Gallbladder and Gallstones Treatment
If surgery is recommended, what are the benefits of laparoscopic gallbladder surgery?
- No hospital stay in most cases
