I had surgery for a pilonidal abscess but it seems to be coming back. Does homeopathy offer a permanent cure for this? I'm worried about dealing with this again and looking for effective treatment options.

My ultrasound showed a fatty liver and multiple echogenic masses in the gallbladder. Should I get my gallbladder removed or is there another way to manage this? I'm worried about surgery but also don't want to risk complications if it's necessary.

initially tried with tab udiliv 150mg for 6 months if patient is not responding a repeat USG is advised and surgery opinion at apollo hospital is advised to the patient.

My wife has multiple gallstones with the largest being 11.1 mm. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are other options to remove the stones without surgery

Gallstones over 10‚ÄØmm are unlikely to dissolve with meds;non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid work best for smaller stones under monitoring.
