A member asked:
Is it dangerous to leave gall bladder attacks untreated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can get acute infections, gangrene, or even perforation of gallbladder with peritonitis. If left long enough, it can form fistulas to adjacent organs. Stones can travel into common duct and you can get jaundice, pancreatitis, or cholangitis, and these are serious conditions.
