I've got 5.3mm gallstones but no major pain, just occasional back discomfort do I really need surgery or are there meds that can dissolve them
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Having 5.3mm gallstones and no major pain is common, and in most cases, these gallstones don't require treatment. These are often called "silent stones" because they don't interfere with the gallbladder's function or cause any noticeable symptoms. However, it's important to be aware of potential future issues and to consult with a doctor to discuss your specific situation.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with stomach pain and loose motions since yesterday. The loose motions have stopped since last night, but the stomach pain is still there, and I'm experiencing a lot of gas. I tried taking Ocid 20 and Pudin Hara, but they didn't help. I even ate some dahi, but that didn't do anything either. Could you please suggest any medicine that might help with the stomach pain and stop the excessive farting?
no problem u use

I've been feeling like there's something in my throat, almost like a lump or leftover food. Its kind of weird, and I also notice these small burps or like there's something stuck that makes me want to manually burp. Lately, I've been having some gas issues too, especially after I eat. Any idea what's going on?
Your symptoms suggest acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the throat, causing discomfort, lump sensation, and burping; consider antacids, proton pump inhibitors, or H2 blockers, and lifestyle changes like avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, and elevating your head while sleeping.
