A member asked:

Gall bladder functioning at 15%! i have frequent attacks & chronic jaundice. doc doesn't seem too worried. any options besides surgery?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need good diagnosis: Poorly functioning gallbladders don't always cause pain. Very tiny stones can be missed by ultrasound, and are frequently seen in gallbladders that don't squeeze normally. However, such tiny stones and poor gallbladder squeezing DO NOT cause jaundice. I recommend you see a gastroenterologist for another opinion. As a surgeon, I would not remove your gallbladder yet. Good luck!
