[|Human|] 16 year old grandson has blood in the stool and complains of upper stomach discomfort associated with severe headaches. He has been diagnosed with having a gallbladder that is only functioning at 9 percent. (probable surgery is scheduled) can the above conditions be associated with the gallbladder?
[|AI|]  Hello. Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I can understand your concerns. Complaints of upper abdominal discomfort may be due to partial functioning of gallbladder and may be resolved by surgery. But presence of blood in stool has some other cause for which he requires evaluation in form of colonoscopy. So discuss with your doctor regarding this. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Remain in touch and get-well soon.
