Signs You May Need Gallbladder Surgery: Expert Insights From Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik


Posted May 22, 2026 by clinicahealth

Gallbladder problems are common, often presenting with symptoms such as abdominal pain, indigestion and nausea.

 
Every single day, thousands of new cases of gallbladder stones get diagnosed, often during routine check-ups or due to severe abdominal pain. The symptoms of most gallbladder issues often range from mild to extremely debilitating.

Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik, a leading gallbladder surgeon in Kolkata, provides his expert insights into recognising the symptoms that indicate immediate medical attention.

The gallbladder, though often ignored, plays an important role in digestion by storing and releasing bile, which breaks down fats. When the organ malfunctions, it leads to the accumulation of bile, which results in many troublesome symptoms," states Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik.

Hence, being aware is one of the very first steps towards timely diagnosis and an accurate treatment approach. Otherwise, it can lead to an escalation of the condition, like gallbladder rupture or pancreatitis.

According to Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik, not all concerns related to the gallbladder require surgery. But some signs must not be ignored.

Persistent abdominal pain, often on the right side, especially after having fatty foods. The discomfort can radiate to the back or right shoulder.
Frequent digestive issues like nausea, vomiting and indigestion.
Chronic bloating, excessive gas or an uncomfortable feeling even after small meals.
Yellowing of the skin and eyes indicates obstruction in the bile flow.
High fever accompanied by chills, suggesting an infection
Light-coloured stools or dark urine

In most cases, mild gallbladder symptoms resolve with medications, dietary changes and healthy lifestyle choices. However, if the symptoms are recurrent or severe, the condition calls for surgical evaluation.

As a top gallbladder surgeon in Kolkata, Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik is appreciated by patients for his expertise in minimally invasive solutions.

His treatment modality includes the laparoscopic procedures that reduce recovery time, post-operative pain and hospital stays. “Gallbladder surgery techniques have changed a lot. Modern laparoscopic or robotic techniques allow patients to return to normal life quickly with no such discomfort," adds Dr. Bhowmik.

For those suffering from gallbladder issues or seeking preventive care, consulting Dr. Purnendu Bhowmik is the best choice for expert care and guidance.
