I am 35+6 days pregnant. It s my third pregnancy. Since last week having a severe pain just under my right side ribs. At first pain was felt while sitting. But now having all the time while lying or standing. Tried pain killer panadol tablets and spasfon tablets but no effect. Baby position is cephalic. My doctor suspects it a gal bladder pain. What to do?
Hi.noted history of right sided abdominal pain, subcostal area. Yes, it is possible that you have a gallbladder pathology (most commonly gallstones). Costochon Chat Doctor.  It is best if you consult with a doctor, preferably a general surgeon, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (ultrasound, complete blood count, liver function tests, etc.) and management (medical and/or surgical if indications are found) will be directed accordingly. If it is indeed of gallstone disease, definitive treatment is cholecystectomy or surgical removal of the gallbladder. If it is not an emergent case, based on ultrasound and clinical evaluation, an elective cholecystectomy after giving birth will be advised accordingly. It can be done laparoscopically (gold standard) or through open technique. Low fat diet is also recommended. Hope this helps. Good day!!~
