Question
I am 28 years old, and my stomach has been painful for the past few days. After a detailed examination, I was found to have gallstones. What medication can help alleviate these symptoms? My baby’s postpartum period has just ended, and I hope to recover quickly.
Answer
I have carefully read your medical history. Please send over your ultrasound report so I can examine the location and size of the gallstones. For patients with gallstones, it is important to pay attention to diet and avoid eating overly greasy, cold, sticky, or spicy foods. Keep your abdomen and both feet warm, and do not consume cold drinks or food just taken out of the refrigerator. If the gallstones are smaller than 1.0cm in diameter, you can take Bilestone Relief Tablets, which help dissolve and expel the stones. If the stones are larger than 1.0cm in diameter, microsurgical treatment may need to be considered.
