A member asked:

Ct scan shows gallstones... feel weak and no desire to eat. dr. out of office for 1 week and not sure if i should wait.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

UR waiting for what?: Stones in the gallbladder (gb) seldom cause symptoms unless they migrate into the neck of the gb (& block exit of bile) or into the common bile duct. Symptomless gallstones may be diagnosed by chance by imaging or during investigation for some other condition. Only 10% become symptomatic within 5 years of detection. Ultrasound, ct scan, mrcp finds stones; cck-hida scan can tell if gb is diseased.
