I have a 1.08 cm gallbladder stone and a 0.78 cm liver stone, plus my left kidney is 9.38 cm and right kidney is 9.87 cm. Doctors are recommending surgery but I really don't want to go through with it. Are there any other options or treatments I can try instead?

I'm dealing with really painful hemorrhoids and it's getting hard for me to function properly. My stool is really hard and difficult to pass, and I just end up feeling so bloated if I don't have a clear stomach. It's painful whether I'm sitting or walking and I'm honestly super stressed out about it. I've been trying homeopathic medicines but they don't seem to do anything for me anymore. Can you suggest anything that might actually help? Also, things like isabgol that are supposed to act as stool softeners seem to harden it more, which is confusing. What should I do?
