A member asked:
Mild abdominal pain encouraged me for an ultrasound and it was found out that i've a common bile duct stone present in there. but it is not causing other symptoms like jaundice. does it mean the stone is not obstructing the flow of bile yet?

If you have mild symptoms then it is not obstructive enough to cause symptoms. You need further evaluation. Jaundice occurs after prolonged obstruction. Pl see a surgeon. Good luck.

I've had slight abdominal discomfort which suggested a routine ultrasound and it was found out that I've a stone in my bile duct, but it's not causing major symptoms like cholangitis or jaundice. Should I consider ERCP to remove stone or wait?
I had an obstructive jaundice caused by a gallstone that was stuck in the common bile duct. So after 25 days the doctor removed the stone using Ercp. Bile flow is fully restored but will the jaundice cause any serious permanent damage to the liver?
A little doubt on this thing: Recently my friend had a common bile duct blockage from a stone which caused him jaundice and elevation of LFTs. What exactly causes jaundice and temporarily affects the liver in this case of obstruction?
Seeking second opinion, incidentally found out I have common bile duct stone but it is asymptomatic. Had pain last year but that was more like from gas, no other symptoms and no jaundice. Not sure since when the stone is here, do I need to remove it?
In an event of a common bile duct stone, is it always necessary to have jaundice for the patient or is it perfectly normal to have a stone in the duct but the jaundice continues to remain absent?
