Hi I had an abdominal ultrasound done and the findings were: Hepatic parenchyma is slightly heterogeneous. The liver is not enlarged measuring up to 16.3 cm in length. There is a fat-containing periumbilical hernia measuring 1.3 x 1.1 cm cholelithiasis without evidence of cholecystitis fat-containg paraumbilical hernia. What does all this mean? very concerned
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Presence of stones in the gall bladder is called as cholelithiasis.2. Cholecystitis is inflammation of gallbladder. 3. At present, even though stones are present, no damage or inflammation of gallbladder is noted. No emergency surgery is necessary for management of gall stones.4. Also, small periumbilical hernia, with fat tissue seeping out is seen. Not to be concerned about. Meet your surgeon for gall stones removal and hernia management. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
