I found out I have a 13 mm gallstone but I'm not feeling any pain or discomfort right now is there any way to get rid of it without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
While you don't have symptoms currently with a 13mm gallstone, the best approach is usually to consult with a general surgeon. While some options exist to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery, the decision on whether or not to intervene depends on your overall health, the size and type of gallstone, and your individual risk factors.
