Hello, thank you for sending your question to Vinmec Health System, to your question, I would like to answer as follows: Gallstones can recur, so you may have recurrent acute pancreatitis. Therefore, to prevent gallstones from recurring, she should drink a lot of water, at the same time maintain a suitable diet, reduce fat and sugar, increase fiber and supplement with vitamin C by eating more fruits.
In addition, cholangitis and cholecystitis can be prevented by avoiding constipation and diarrhea for too long. Avoid worms entering the bile ducts by eating cooked food and drinking boiling water, deworming periodically every 6 months. Increase exercise and control weight, avoid overweight. Wish her a lot of health!
