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.

Thanks doctor. So can I take a chance to take the ayurvedic route instead of removing the gallbladder itself? What is the probability of 6.5mm stone which is sitting at the neck blocking the bile flow and cause another gallbladder attack and eventually an inflamed one? Can i take that risk? Does it happen even i strictly follow the bland diet?

Karela leaves or Amla leaves juice 2 times a day Varun shigru khwatg-20ml 3 times a day after food Kalanchoe pinnata-Eat 2 leaves empty stomach 2 times day Arogyavardhini vati -1tab 2 time a day after food Punarnavaasav-20ml 3 times a day Chandanasava- 20 ml 2 times a day Tab.liposem plus 1 tab 3 times a day Gokshur guggulu- 2tsp 2 times a day Shwet parapti 500mg+yava kshar 250mg+hajral yavadu bhasma 250mg mix well and with warm water milk 2 times a day Take all the medicine upto 5 6 months Follow up after 1 month or any other issue you can contact here.

Thanks Doctor. So no surgery required? What are the chances of smaller stones coming out and blocking the bile duct? What are the chances of 6.5mm stone which is at the neck blocking the bile flow and cause another attack? Can I avoid surgery and go with ayurvedic medication you suggested ?

Yes you should avoid surgery. Take all that medication mentioned above upto 4 to 5 month continues and take helthy diet. Eat timely ,eat vegetables hydration.Do yoga pranayam. Take proper sleep and calculies Take medicine proper you will see good results.

Hi, If currently it’s not an acute condition then Start following medicine and diet plan 1) Arogyavardhini tab - 2 Tab twice a day after food with water 2) Varunadi kashay - 10 ml twice a day after food with water 3) Kumaryadav Syrup - 10 ml twice a day after food with water 4) Punarnavadi mandur - 2 Tab twice a day after food with water 5) Gandharvaharitaki - 1/2 spoon daily at night before bed. Avoid fasting, spicy food, baked, fermented, non-veg food, oily and fried food items, carbonated drinks, alcohol and smoking
