Question 1

dense adhesions between the abdominal wall and gallbladder. us; distal dilation of cbd 7.7mm, no stones. 52, female, what does this mean for me?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: If you were having abdominal pain prompting the ultrasound, it could be "sludge" obstructing the common bile duct. This may not be seen as a stone on the ultrasound but may cause the same type of blockage. You need an MRCP (MRI of the biliary tree) to evaluate the common bile duct.  If this shows a blockage you will need ERCP (a procedure done by a gastroenterologist) to clear the stones or sludge

Usually abd/pelvis: Adhesions can occur in other locations, but the most common occur in the abdomen and pelvis.

Question 6

abdomen pain and heavyness very frequently. the recent scan report found that, subacute intestinal obstruction due to postoperative adhesions?

Accepted Answer

Be mindful: Surgical adhesions are not infrequent, and can lead to small bowel obstruction.  Many cases resolve without surgical intervention, which is good!  the more surgeries you undergo the more you develop new scar tissue.  If you have severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and suddenly are no longer passing gas or bms, to er.  If not, small but more frequent meals, high fiber, lots of fluids.
