Gallstones in Mumbai: When to see a General Surgeon?

Gallstones: Key Assessment Points

Gallstones are small stones forming in the gallbladder, often without symptoms. However, if a gallstone blocks a bile duct, it can cause significant tummy pain.

Urgent Assessment: Seek an urgent general physician appointment if you experience tummy pain that lasts longer than 30 minutes.

Emergency Care: Immediately go to an emergency department if you have sudden, severe pain in your tummy; pain spreading from your tummy to your back accompanied by vomiting; a very high temperature, or feel hot, cold, or shivery; or if your skin or the whites of your eyes appear yellow.
