My dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For a 7mm gallbladder stone, while non-surgical treatments are possible, surgery (cholecystectomy) is generally the preferred and most effective way to remove the stone and prevent future problems. Non-surgical options, like medication to dissolve the stone or shock wave lithotripsy, are less common and may not be suitable for all cases

View allI've been experiencing some pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's been happening whenever I eat spicy or non-veg dishes. It's been going on for a few days now, and I'm starting to get worried. Could it be something to do with the food, or is it something I should be more concerned about?

I've been diagnosed with Grade 3 internal hemorrhoids by a gastroenterologist who recommended surgery. Before going that route, I'd like to explore non-surgical options like diet and exercise. Is it scientifically possible to manage or treat Grade 3 piles this way? If so, I'd appreciate recommendations for a good dietician in Thane who specializes in this.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.
Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
