I have a gall bladder stone measuring 19.7 mm and I really don't want to go through surgery are there any effective home remedies that can help dissolve or break it down naturally? What options do I have besides surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gallbladder stones of nearly 20 mm are quite large and unlikely to dissolve with home remedies. Unfortunately, there are no proven natural treatments to break down such big stones safely. You can discuss with your doctor about non-surgical options like oral bile acid therapy, but these take months and work mainly for smaller cholesterol stones. Close monitoring and surgical removal remain the most effective and safest approach.

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 dealing with some really frustrating potty problems. For the past 2 years, I've been having irregular bowel movements, and it's just so irritating. I've been taking sorbolene syrup and cubs her, but it's not helping at all. What else can I do to get some relief?
Adding fiber to your diet increases the weight of your stool and speeds its passage through your intestines. Slowly begin to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables each day. Choose whole-grain breads and cereals..... Exercise most days of the week. Physical activity increases muscle activity in your intestines. Try to fit in exercise most days of the week... Don't ignore the urge to have a bowel movement. Take your time in the bathroom, allowing yourself enough time to have a bowel movement without distractions and without feeling rushed...
