My wife has stones one in her kidney and another in her gallbladder. She keeps getting pain on the right side of her stomach every few weeks. The doctor recommended surgery, but is there any way to treat this without an operation? What can we do when the pain flares up? Would homeopathy be a good option for her?

surgery is advised to the patient.

is vasectomy surgery safe and are there any side effects i should worry about in the future

Vasectomy is a safe and effective surgery for male birth control. While serious complications are rare, some individuals may experience side effects like pain, swelling, or infection in the days or weeks following the procedure. Long-term risks are also relatively low, but can include post-vasectomy pain syndrome or, in rare cases, a sperm granuloma.
