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 noticed that whenever I travel by bus or train, I seem to get a lot of gas in my stomach, and it's super uncomfortable. It makes the whole journey pretty hard to enjoy. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening. Any suggestions?

I'm really worried because for the past 8 months I've had this burning feeling in my throat. It always feels tight, like something's stuck in there. It's pretty uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this, and should I be concerned? What could be causing these sensations?
Water in the ear can be uncomfortable. Since ear wax drops aren't providing relief, try: - Ear drying drops (e.g., Otoferm) to help evaporate water - Tilt your head to the side and gently pull on the outer ear to help water drain - Use a warm compress or dry towel to help relieve pain and fullness If symptoms persist or worsen, consult an ENT specialist to rule out: - Ear infection - Eardrum damage - Blockage Avoid using cotton swabs (Q-tips) to avoid pushing water further into the ear.
