My 3-month-old daughter was diagnosed with anterior displaced anus or vulvar anus. One pediatric surgeon recommended waiting until she's 1 year old for surgery, but another doctor said it should be done now at 3 months. I'm really confused when is the best time to get the surgery done for her condition?

My wife has several gallbladder stones around 56 mm in size and the doctors are recommending immediate surgery. I'm really worried and wondering if there are any other options like medications or natural remedies that could help instead of going straight for surgery. Is it possible to dissolve or pass these stones without an operation?

I would need some more details to get a clear idea of what you are going through

I have several 57mm stones in my gallbladder can they be removed without surgery or is that my only option

While gallbladder surgery (cholecystectomy) is often the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, including those as large as 57mm, there are some non-surgical options available. These include medications to dissolve stones, and in rare cases, shock wave lithotripsy. However, the effectiveness and suitability of these alternatives vary, and surgery may still be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic stones
