A member asked:
I had mild abdominal pain for 2 months, they were irregular and mild so i ignored. but one day i suddenly had severe pain, cbd stone was confirmed and removed immediately. assuming i had obstruction for 2 months, does this cause liver cirrhosis?

That clinical scenario doesn't mean you had common bile duct obstruction for 2 months. You had a typical clinical presentation of cholelithiasis. It started with pain which we call biliary colic (weeks), then some people have cholecystitis if the cystic duct is obstructed but your gallbladder was fine but you had CBD obstruction due to stone. You are perfectly fine, cirrhosis isn't a complication.

A member asked:
I'm concerned: Does having a gallstone in the bile duct mean that period of cholestasis will inevitably cause liver cirrhosis in the future despite the stone already removed?

A member asked:
I have been told that in biliary colic the gallstone temporarily blocks the bile duct. I have had 3 to 4 episodes of biliary colic before my GB was removed that had stones. Will those 4 episodes of biliary colic cause liver cirrhosis in the future?

My brother, age 50, had bile duct obstruction caused by a gallstone stuck inside it. It took him 25 days to get the stone removed using Ercp treatment. Will 25 days of obstruction become a reason for him to get liver cirrhosis in the future?
Does a common bile duct obstruction from a gallstone that lasts for 26 days (counted from the day of first symptoms) progress to liver cirrhosis? The stone has been removed, bile flow is fully back. Will the duration of 26 days progress to cirrhosis?
My brother was diagnosed with Choledocholithiasis so exactly 25 days later he went through Ercp and stone was removed. No obstruction since then. Will those 25 days of bile flow blockage prior to treatment progress to liver cirrhosis in the future?
