Hello dear,
The reduction in your gallbladder wall thickness from 7.8 mm to 2.3 mm is excellent news; it indicates the acute inflammation has subsided, providing an optimal, safer window for your upcoming cholecystectomy. Standard pre-operative management strictly focuses on avoiding another acute attack. Stick to a very low-fat, bland diet, eat small portions, and stay hydrated. If you experience a sudden return of severe upper right quadrant pain, fever, or jaundice before your surgery date, go to the emergency room immediately.
In Ayurveda, gallstones are correlated with Pittashmari. The pathology involves vitiated Vata and Kapha drying and crystallizing the aggravated Pitta within the Pittashaya (gallbladder). Since surgery is only a week away, the Ayurvedic goal is not to dissolve the stones which is a long-term protocol but rather palliative care. The focus is on pacifying Pitta, maintaining a balanced Agni (digestive fire), and preventing Aam accumulation to avoid triggering biliary colic before the removal.
Ayurveda Medicines :
1. Varanadi Kashayam: 15 ml mixed with 45 ml of warm water, taken twice daily before food.
2. Avipattikar Churna: 3 to 5 grams taken with warm water at bedtime for mild laxation and Pitta pacification.
3. Kumaryasavam: 15 to 20 ml mixed with an equal amount of water, taken twice daily after meals to support general hepatobiliary function.
