[|Human|] my CT Scan reads that I have a collapsed gallbladder, small fat containing left inguinal hernia, Atherosclerotic calcification and skeletal degenerates are present, uterine fibroid, and the impression: there is no explanation for the patients abdominal pain/cramps/inability to breath/rapid heart bit/profuse sweating episode. I am a female 73 years old. My doctor says the reading is fairly normal, nothing worrysome, unlikely the hernia is the cause of my symptoms, to let him know if persists. Could I get from you a guideline of  how should I proceed?Martha
[|AI|]  History to say that the scan report could not explain your symptoms. Usually all scanning are performed after fasting to facilitate well distension of gall bladder and better visualization of pancreas. Gall bladder is full when there is fluid inside(bile).collapsed gall bladder means it is contracted, means no bile in it. Usually it gets collapsed after taking fried/ oily foods. Because fatty food digestion requires this fluid for absorption into body. If you want to review, go with fasting for ultrasonogram abdomen. As for your symptoms are concerned, it's not related. Small fat containing inguinal hernia or uterine fibroid are nothing to worry. Check once your thyroid hormone levels. Thank Vasundhara
