Found a gallstone about 1.1 cm and my doctor recommends surgery. Can I try natural remedies to flush it out instead? What could happen if I don't get the surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
1.1 cm gallstones rarely flush out naturally. If symptomatic, surgery is recommended. Delay can lead to complications like pancreatitis.

View allI'm experiencing pain on the right side of my chest, specifically in the middle area, and it gets worse when I bend down, walk, or move forward. It's been happening since yesterday morning. Even sleeping is tough I feel it when I try to lie down, and it's really painful when I sneeze. I've been on medication for epigastric and antral ulcers for the past five days. Could this chest pain be related to that, or might it be something else? I'm really worried about what's going on.
Tab pan d ,orally ,once a day and syrup sucralfate 10 ml thrice daily for 14 days is advised to the patient.Avoid spicy foods, smoking and alcohol cessation is advised to the patient.

My 63-year-old mom has small cystic lesions in the caudate lobe of her liver. Do these always require surgery or can they be treated with medication? I'm worried about the next steps for her.
Small liver cysts, especially in the caudate lobe, are often asymptomatic and don't require treatment. They are typically benign, and only large or symptomatic cysts may need intervention. Surgery is not usually needed for small, simple cysts.

I'm worried about my brother. His SGOT is at 80 and SGPT is 50. He doesn't drink much, maybe once a month, and he's on the heavier side. My dad had hepatitis B, but my brother was tested four years ago after my dad passed away, and his test came back negative. I'm really concerned about what could be going on with him. Could you help figure out what's happening?
