You have two gallbladders with stones in them is that dangerous?

Answer 1

It is disablingly painful,greatly limits what the patient can eat,and potentially dangerous in the same way as one untreated symptomatic gall bladder can be as the condition progresses.What is worse is what the patient has to put up with in the years preceding diagnosis,when reporting the unusual symptoms to doctors e.g.disbelief,laxatives,even psychiatric assessment,unless of course they live in the catchment area of a tertiary centre such as kings college hospital.On top of all this ,if the patient is a woman and the stones have got to the stage where they are lodging in the neck of both gallbladders,with resulting double sided distention,there is a very bloated and unfashionably shaped upper abdomen.to put up with,along with a feeling of internal pressure on the ribs and Back pain travelling up to the shoulder tips.There may have been a childhood history of nausea because of the congenital abnormality,and a likelyhood of an underlying condition of Diabetes if both gallbladders have developed stones.
