What Is The Pain In Upper Abdomen?
Doctor, since last three years in got severe pain in the upper part of stomach (totally three times, like once in a year). This time i got paing in April'13th. I Went to a gastroenterologist , did scopy and US scan, the impressions was antrum gastritis and gall stones. Dr said he need to remove my gall bladder. But, i feel the pain may be due to the gastritis problem, if it is so, it is not required to remove the bladder. How do i confirm where the pain in due to gastritis or stone? please help me with clear details

Hi,
As there are gall bladder stones, pain is more likely due to stones.
If pain is due to gastritis, it can be relived with some antacid and antispasmodics.
But problem of having stones will remain so follow advise of your doctor and get it removed.
Ok and take care.
