My father aged 70 years, heinght 5.5 feet, weight 60 kg had an abdominal ultrasound done around 6 months back when he complained of severe abdominal pain . The ultrasound report suggests that he has acute cholecystisis, diffuse irrugular thickening of urinary bladder wall and enlarged prostate . Gall bladder wall with diffuse edematous thickening of gall bladder wall mesuring 0.58cm however no calculus is seen within the lumen. After taking medication, he was fine however even now sometimes he complains of stomach pain. Please suggest what treatment needs to be done?
HelloThanks for your query. Your father had acute Cholecystitis and his Ultrasound revealed findings suggestive of Acute Cholecystitis As he is getting repeated attacks of pain due to Cholecystitis It is better to get it removed by Laparoscopic Surgery which is safe and gives permanent remedy. As regards his Enlarged Prostate consult some Urologist who will advise some medication like Tamsulosin, Finasteride or Surgery(TURN)depending upon the severity of his Urinary symptoms and Ultrasound findings.
