What is more painful: giving birth or gallstones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: It depends on a few factors such as, whether the gallbladder surgery is done open or laparoscopically, a persons tolerance for pain ( we are all different), how inflamed the gallbladder at the time of surgery etc.
