I've got a few stones in my gall bladder and one of them is about 3.5 mm. I'm wondering if there's a way to treat this without having surgery. Is it possible to get rid of these stones without taking out the gall bladder? I'm pretty anxious about it and would love some advice.

my doctor said I have an old healed fissure and surgery isn't needed but I'm not sure what that really means does it still cause problems or is it completely fine now
It's understandable to be unsure when a doctor advises against surgery. While surgery is often a last resort for chronic anal fissures, most cases can be managed with conservative treatments like lifestyle changes and medications.

I'm experiencing chest pain or some discomfort every time I eat sugar or sweets. Could this be related to a gastric issue? Which type of doctor should I see about this?
Chest discomfort after consuming sweets could be due to acid reflux or gastritis, as sugary foods can sometimes irritate the stomach lining or trigger reflux. Please consult a **gastroenterologist** for an evaluation to rule out other causes and confirm the diagnosis.
