Hello,
With the question “How are men treated for gallstones in the liver? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Patients need to go to the doctor immediately for timely treatment, because gallstones can cause biliary obstruction, causing dangerous complications such as septic shock due to biliary obstruction. The doctor will do the necessary exploratory tests such as MRI of the biliary tract, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, abdominal ultrasound, and biochemical tests.
If you still have questions about men with gallstones in the liver, you can take your father to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
