Biliary pain, also known as biliary colic, is a common condition characterized by severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. The pain is caused by the contraction of the gallbladder and the bile ducts, and can be caused by various conditions such as gallstones, inflammation of the gallbladder, or blockages in the bile ducts.
At Saudi German Hospital, our team of experienced specialists is dedicated to providing comprehensive and individualized treatment for biliary pain. Our goal is to relieve pain and discomfort, and to prevent future episodes of biliary pain.
Our first line of treatment for biliary pain includes medications such as antispasmodics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to relieve pain and discomfort. In some cases, medications to dissolve gallstones may also be prescribed.
If medication alone is not sufficient to relieve symptoms, our specialists may recommend interventional therapies such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to remove gallstones or other obstructions in the bile ducts. Surgery such as laparoscopic cholecystectomy may be required in case of chronic biliary pain or if the gallbladder is infected or inflamed.
In addition to these treatments, our specialists may also recommend lifestyle changes such as dietary modifications, weight loss, and regular exercise to help prevent future episodes of biliary pain.
At Saudi German Hospital, we understand that biliary pain can be a debilitating condition. Our team of specialists is committed to working with you to find the best treatment plan for your individual needs. We strive to provide the highest quality of care, with the goal of relieving pain and improving your overall quality of life.
