Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can The Polyp In The Gall Bladder Cause Similar Pain As Gallstones During Pregnancy?
I am 31 weeks pregnant. At 27 weeks, I started experiencing pain under the right rib and in behind the right should blade after i eat a meal...esp worse later in the day. I was out of town at the time and all indications from what I read online pointed towards gallbladder pain. I eliminated all fats from my diet and followed a strict gallbladder diet. This seems to help minimize the pain. When i returned from vacation, I went for an ultrasound of the abdomen and was surprised to see there were no gallstones found. The ultrasound did show the gallbladder contains a 5mm polyp. The common bile duct is normal in calibre and no intrahepatic biliary dilation. Liver was normal in size...kidneys both normal...spleen unremarkable. Poor visualization of the pancreas due to obscuring bowel gas. The mid portion of the abdominal arota is obscured by bowl gas. i still have this pain if i stray from the strict gallbladder diet. My question is: Can the polyp cause similar pain as gallstones during pregnancy? Does this typically resolve itself after baby is delivered or should i expect the pain to continue? How do they treat polyp in gallbladder? What do you suggest my next steps are?
Hello. I want to calm you wishing a happy end to your pregnancy and a good baby, because the polip of gallbladder I think is totally innocent in this right hypocondrium pain of yours. I think just this can be explained with volume and pressure changes caused physiologically by gravidance and I hope they be going down after delivery so keep calm till this time.
