Hi, I’m Dr. V Preethi — a General and Laparoscopic Surgeon practicing at Hayagriva Hospital, Chennai. With years of hands-on experience and over 500 successful surgeries, I specialize in providing advanced, minimally invasive solutions for conditions like gallstones. I understand how overwhelming it can be to face abdominal pain or receive a diagnosis you weren’t expecting. That’s why my approach to treatment is rooted not just in surgical precision, but in genuine, compassionate care.

If you’re searching for clarity on gallstones treatment — whether you're newly diagnosed or struggling with unexplained discomfort — you’re not alone. I’m here to help you understand your condition, explore your options, and take the next steps confidently. My goal is to support your journey toward relief and recovery with clear communication, personalized care plans, and a steady hand in surgery. At every stage, your health, comfort, and peace of mind remain my highest priority.

What Are Gallstones?

Gallstones are solid, pebble-like formations that develop within the gallbladder, a small organ situated beneath the liver. They’re typically made of cholesterol or bile pigments, and they develop when there’s an imbalance in the substances that make up bile. In many cases, gallstones form silently without any obvious symptoms, which is why they can go unnoticed for months or even years. These "silent" stones may be discovered only during scans for unrelated issues, and often don’t require treatment unless they begin to cause discomfort.

However, when gallstones block the bile ducts or irritate the gallbladder lining, they can trigger intense abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, or even serious infections. This sudden onset of symptoms — commonly referred to as a "gallstone attack" — can be distressing and may require prompt medical attention. In such cases, surgical intervention is often the most effective long-term solution. That’s why understanding the nature of gallstones and seeking timely evaluation is key to preventing complications and preserving your digestive health.

• Formed from cholesterol or bile salts
• They can range in size from tiny grains to larger pebble-like stones
• May cause no symptoms — or severe pain
• Require timely diagnosis and expert care

Common Gall Stone Symptoms

If you’ve ever experienced sharp or lingering abdominal discomfort — especially after meals — it could be more than just indigestion. Many people mistake the early signs of gallstones for common digestive issues, which leads to delayed diagnosis and unnecessary suffering. One of the hallmark symptoms is pain in the upper right or middle part of the abdomen, which can radiate to the back or shoulder. This discomfort often occurs after eating fatty or heavy meals and may be accompanied by bloating, nausea, or a feeling of fullness.

Recognizing gall stone symptoms early can help you avoid more serious complications like gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis), infection, or even pancreatitis — all of which can require urgent care. For women, especially, hormonal changes can play a role in gallstone formation, making awareness even more important. If you’re noticing recurring pain or digestive distress, it’s worth having it checked. Early diagnosis means more options, faster relief, and a smoother path back to health.

Gallstones symptoms in females may also be influenced by hormonal changes (e.g. pregnancy, birth control pills, estrogen therapy), making timely evaluation even more important.

When Is Gall Stones Removal Needed?

If gallstones are symptomatic, gall stones removal is the gold-standard solution. The most effective and safest treatment is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy — a minimally invasive surgery to remove the gallbladder and prevent future complications. This procedure uses small incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. The majority of patients can go home either on the same day or within a day after the procedure. By removing the gallbladder entirely, the risk of recurring gallstone attacks is eliminated, allowing you to live more comfortably and confidently.

• Recommended for recurring pain, inflammation, or infection
• Surgery is safe, quick, and performed under general anesthesia
• Most patients go home the same or next day
• Your body adjusts well after gallbladder removal — no long-term issues in most cases
• No more recurring pain or digestive discomfort after surgery

I focus on patient comfort and fast recovery, using smaller incisions, quicker healing methods, and a personal care plan tailored to your lifestyle.
