I've been diagnosed with gallstones but want to avoid surgery are there any other treatments that could help? What options do I have besides going under the knife?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
If you have gallstones and want to avoid surgery, several nonsurgical options are available, including oral dissolution therapy, endoscopic procedures, and shock wave lithotripsy. These methods may be suitable if you have small cholesterol stones or are not a candidate for surgery.

View allI've been dealing with loose motions since this morning, and even after having coconut water and an electrolyte solution, I'm not feeling any better. What else can I try to get some relief? Should I be worried about this lasting longer?
-It sounds like your stomach is still unsettled despite the coconut water and electrolyte solution. If the loose motions persist or you don't feel better soon, it might be helpful to consult a doctor to rule out any infections or other underlying issues.

I've had gall bladder stones for about a year now, sizes ranging from 9mm to 1.2mm, and they cause really bad pain and vomiting. Is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I could try
Cholecystectomy is advised to the patient.
