Gallstone attacks during pregnancy can be treated conservatively with medications that have a low impact on the pregnant woman and the baby, while termination of pregnancy should be considered if symptoms such as abdominal pain are severe.
If there is only mild discomfort during pregnancy, ursodeoxycholic acid tablets can be used as prescribed by the doctor to promote bile drainage and control inflammation. If cholecystitis occurs, you can use ampicillin, meloxicillin and other drugs for anti-infection treatment. However, it should be noted that the use of drugs may have a certain effect on the fetus, and it is recommended to use drugs carefully under the guidance of a doctor.
If gallstones attack in early pregnancy, you can consider terminating the pregnancy through abortion or other methods, and then proceed to gallstones treatment. For full-term pregnancies, an early cesarean section can be performed, along with a cholecystectomy, which should be done according to the doctor’s instructions.
It is recommended that the surgeon and obstetrician/gynecologist advise on the appropriate treatment for gallstone attacks during pregnancy.
