Just had an ultrasound that showed multiple gallstones, biggest one is 8mm. Is there any ayurvedic medicine that can dissolve these stones so I don't need surgery? Really worried about going under the knife.

Ayurvedic herbs like bhumi amla and kalmegh are promoted but lack strong evidence. If gallstones are symptomatic, surgery remains the gold standard.

Here's a natural, conversational rephrasing of the query: *I have two gallstones, one is 12mm and the other is 15mm. Is it safe to try for another baby without getting gallbladder surgery first? What risks should I be aware of?* This version keeps the medical details intact, sounds worried but not overly formal, and avoids robotic phrasing. Let me know if you'd like any adjustments!

Having two gallstones, especially one larger than 10mm, increases the risk of complications during pregnancy. While surgery might not be immediately necessary, it's best to discuss your situation with a doctor before trying to get pregnant, as the risk of gallbladder issues can increase during pregnancy. Larger stones are more likely to cause problems like cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation) or pancreatitis (pancreas inflammation).

I've been dealing with diarrhea on and off for over a week and a half now, and in between, my stools have turned this chalky white color. It's got me a bit worried, especially because I'm nursing and don't want to pass anything to my baby, even though she seems alright. I had the stomach flu about three weeks ago and then traveled, and this issue started when I got back. Is it possible that it's linked to the stomach flu, or could it be some kind of viral infection that just flared up again? What's going on and should I be really concerned about this?

Don't worry Take plenty of water, ors solution Take very simple and light food for 3 days Take Tab Dompan SR 1 on empty stomach Tab levomac 250 mg 1 tab Twice a day Tab metrogyl ER 1 tab Twice a day Cap Bifilac hp 1 perday All for 3 day
