Gallbladder stones, especially multiple 8mm ones, usually do not dissolve on their own and can cause pain or complications. Non-surgical options like oral bile acid pills (e.g., ursodeoxycholic acid) have limited effectiveness and are rarely successful for stones this size. Surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) remains the most effective and permanent treatment.

Why is my stomach ulcer not healing?

Sometimes, an infection such as Helicobacter pylori may be present or non compliance to diet protocol and lifestyle modifications, usage of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can prevent an ulcer from complete healing.

I have a 14mm gallstone but no pain right now. Allopathy doctors are recommending surgery to remove it. Can homeopathy actually cure this and how long would it take? Also, are there any good homeopathy doctors in NCR who can guarantee results? I've attached my ultrasound report for reference.

If you have a 14mm gallstone without pain, some homeopathic treatments might offer symptom management, but surgery is often recommended for larger stones or if symptoms develop. It's essential to consult with a qualified homeopath for personalized advice. As for doctors in NCR, you could seek out well-regarded specialists in gastroenterology or hepatobiliary surgery for the best advice on your treatment options.
