I'm really worried because for about a week now, my stools have been yellow and have mucus in them, and I've noticed some red stains as well. I'm also having stomach pain on the right side, and it just feels bloated all the time. Can you help me understand what's going on?

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.
