Hello. My question is about my father who is 76 years old. A few years ago he had an ultrasound and showed stones in the vesicle, but after administering a drip on the cheese, he felt better and decided not to stay in the hospital. The doctor also did not insist. Unfortunately, he had an ultrasound every year later and, as I remember correctly, for 2 years there is a shrinkage or invisible follicle in the description. Additionally, in October 2012 and January of this year, he was hospitalized for acute pancreatitis and recurrence of this inflammation. I guess it has to do with these deposits, but my question is exactly WHAT DOES IT MEAN INVISIBLE OR SHRINKED. What has become of him? Where could he hide and is it possible to do surgery, surgery, any interference to help his father? After this October, my father lost weight because he did not get to eat. Now he is weak, still thin, because eating something that would allow you to gain weight can cause pain in the pancreas. Thank you and best regards.
A bladder shrinked on the deposits means a situation when there is no bile inside the bladder, but only densely packed deposits (like a sock filled with sand). The patient should be operated on, unless the general condition does not allow it.
