Found a 9mm gallstone during my company health checkup what should I do next is there any medicine to dissolve it or do I need surgery could this stone cause problems later
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 9mm gallstone found during a health checkup requires follow-up with a doctor. While medication can sometimes dissolve gallstones, especially cholesterol stones, it's not a guaranteed solution and may take months or years. Surgery (cholecystectomy) to remove the gallbladder is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, and it's generally more effective than medication. Whether or not the stone will cause problems later depends on whether it causes symptoms, and if so, what kind of symptoms.

View allI've been having this sharp pain under my right ribs for the last couple of days and it's really noticeable when I cough, sneeze, or move around. It does hurt to touch, but when I'm resting there's no pain. I don't have any other symptoms, but I'm concerned about what this could be. Could it be something serious?

I've had anal fissures for over a month now and I'm really torn between allopathy, ayurveda, or homeopathy for treatment. Since it's still in the early stages, I'd prefer to avoid surgery. I'm 27 and wondering which approach would work best for healing without going under the knife. Any advice on what's most effective at this stage?
