I'm noticing mucus sometimes even without any stool. It's got me a bit worried, especially since there's occasionally a little blood. Could my weight of 94kgs or something related to my digestion be causing this issue?

I've just gotten my abdomen sonogram results, and everything seems okay, except there are a few small calculi found in my gall bladder. I'm wondering if this is something I should be worried about. Can these be dealt with without surgery, or what's the best treatment approach?

I found out I have a 13 mm gallstone but I'm not feeling any pain or discomfort right now is there any way to get rid of it without surgery

While you don't have symptoms currently with a 13mm gallstone, the best approach is usually to consult with a general surgeon. While some options exist to dissolve or remove gallstones without surgery, the decision on whether or not to intervene depends on your overall health, the size and type of gallstone, and your individual risk factors.
