question:I had my gall bladder removed 10 days ago, and recovery has been slow. Today, I am having some pain in the right side, and in my shoulder blade area, and I think there is blood in my stools. Some stools have "black" through them, and some I can see red on them, along with some mucus. I have battled breast cancer and won, but am taking femara on a regular basis. Could this be a more serious sign or is it normal to have blood on and possibly in the stools after gall bladder removal. It was done with the 4 small incisions.
answer:It's indeed a danger sign, it's fresh blood mixed with old one which is black... You need to consult your surgeon as soon as possible.. Endoscopy may be required to know the location of bleeding.
question:My mother in law (54+) was detected to have liver cirrhosis four years ago when she was being operated gall stones. the operations could not be done. Six months ago she had an attack of acute pancreatitis. Doctors have advised removal of gallstones. Can it be done at CMC Vellore and if yes, whom should we contact.
answer:It's a case of pancreatitis induced by gall stones, fairly common in females. It has to be operated, that's the only solution.. You can call them directly from their number given on their website

answer:Hi thanks for contacting HCM....Noted your father having cirrhosis and history of variceal bleed....So he has chronic liver disease with portal vein hypertension...For exact grading biopsy needed....But let me know you care has to be taken to avoid further complication...If needed here beta blocker might prescribed for portal hypertension.Low salt diet taken....High protein diet useful.TIPSS like invasive shunt procedure helpful in reducing portal hypertension....If condition worsen ultimate treatment is liver transplantation...Early in morning take grined spinach and carrot juice....One tsp crushed papaiya seed with lemon juice helpful...If behavioural abnormality , tremor , sleep disturbance and variceal bleed occur immediately directly consult gastroentetologist....Take care.Dr.Parth
