Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder, often composed of cholesterol or bilirubin. These stones can block the flow of bile, leading to pain, digestive issues, or even serious complications like infection or inflammation of the gallbladder. Dr. Praveen M P offers expert diagnosis and treatment for gallstones, focusing on effective relief and long-term digestive health.
Gallstones may remain silent without symptoms or may present with abdominal pain (especially in the upper right abdomen), nausea, vomiting, bloating, or jaundice. Dr. Praveen performs detailed evaluations through abdominal ultrasound, liver function tests, and imaging studies to accurately detect gallstones and assess the severity of the condition.
Depending on the size, number of stones, and symptom severity, treatment may involve medication, dietary changes, or surgical options like laparoscopic cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal). Dr. Praveen ensures that each treatment plan is tailored to the patient's condition, aiming for pain relief, prevention of complications, and improved quality of life.
Medical counselling plays an important role in gallstone management by educating patients on dietary habits, symptom recognition, and the need for timely treatment. Dr. Praveen M P provides personalized counselling to help patients understand how high-fat diets, obesity, and certain medical conditions can increase the risk of gallstone formation.
Counselling supports patients in making informed decisions about their treatment options, whether opting for medication, lifestyle adjustments, or surgery. Dr. Praveen emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy weight, following a balanced low-fat diet, and staying physically active to reduce the chances of gallstone recurrence.
Early detection and timely treatment of gallstones help prevent serious complications like cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder), bile duct obstruction, or pancreatitis. Dr. Praveen M P stresses the importance of not ignoring persistent abdominal pain, especially after meals, and encourages regular health check-ups for individuals at higher risk.
With a focus on comprehensive digestive care, Dr. Praveen collaborates with gastroenterologists, surgeons, and dietitians when necessary, ensuring well-rounded treatment and post-procedure recovery support for gallstone patients.
Understanding the anxiety associated with digestive disorders, Dr. Praveen M P provides compassionate care, clear guidance, and continuous support to help patients recover smoothly and maintain better digestive health.
