Cholelithiasis treatment in Huamantla

When pain appears in the upper right part of the abdomen, especially after fatty meals, it may be related to cholelithiasis, which is why a medical evaluation is advisable.

Cholelithiasis is the presence of stones in the gallbladder, the organ that stores the bile that helps digest fats.

Common symptoms:

• Pain in the right side of the abdomen, which can radiate to the back or shoulder.
• Nausea, a feeling of heaviness, or discomfort after meals.

When to see the doctor? If the pain is intense, prolonged, or accompanied by fever or yellowish coloring of the skin, care without delay is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the general surgeon evaluate the gallbladder, with support from the radiologist in imaging studies. Discussing these symptoms with a professional helps clarify their cause and provide follow-up.
