Can a 14mm gallstone be healed without surgery and how long would it take Is there a chance it might come back even after treatment I don't have any symptoms right now but I'm wondering if homeopathy can dissolve the stone completely or if surgery is the better option If homeopathy can make the stone disappear, I'd like to know before visiting the clinic

A 14mm gallstone is unlikely to be resolved without surgery. While homeopathy might help manage symptoms, it's not a proven method for dissolving gallstones, especially of this size. Surgery, like laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is the most common and effective treatment for larger gallstones to prevent complications

View allI'm really struggling with IBS, and it's been about five years now. I had a colonoscopy three years ago, but it didn't show anything. I've tried Colospa and some other medications, but nothing seems to be helping. I have diarrhea and then normal stool, but it's happening like five to six times a day. Lately, I've been experiencing a burning sensation after using the bathroom, and it lasts for an hour or two. It's really concerning, and I'm not sure what to do. Any advice?
Given your symptoms:_ 1. _Episodic vertigo_: Your vertigo episodes last 3-4 seconds, triggered by changes in movement. 2. _Morning exacerbation_: Vertigo worsens in the morning, making it difficult to stand properly. _Consider the following:_ 1. _Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)_: Your symptoms suggest BPPV, a common inner ear disorder. 2. _Inner ear problems_: Despite a normal CT scan, inner ear issues like labyrinthitis or vestibular neuritis might be contributing to your vertigo. 3. _Vitamin deficiencies_: Deficiencies in vitamins like B12 or vitamin D might exacerbate vertigo symptoms. _Current treatment:_ 1. _Vitcofol, Neurobian Forte, Stmetile, Verin 16_: These medications are often used to treat vertigo, but their effectiveness varies. _Recommended next steps:_ 1. _Consult an ENT specialist or a neurologist_: Seek a specialist's opinion to determine the underlying cause of your vertigo. 2. _Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)_: VRT can help improve balance and reduce vertigo symptoms. 3. _Consider canalith repositioning procedure (CRP)_: If diagnosed with BPPV, CRP can help alleviate symptoms.
