I have a hernia in my upper right groin that seems to be either femoral or inguinal. I really don't want surgery but I've heard it's the only option. The bulge isn't always there it only shows up when there's pressure. Are there any other treatments or remedies that could help heal it? Could homeopathy work for this?

Found a 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in my gallbladder neck are there any ways to treat it without getting surgery? I'm really hoping to avoid an operation if possible. What are my options?

A 1.5 cm gallstone stuck in the gallbladder neck can cause pain and complications like cholecystitis. Unfortunately, non-surgical options like medications (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) are often ineffective for stones this size or location. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is the most definitive and safe treatment.
