My dad has a 7mm gallbladder stone is there any treatment to cure it without surgery or is surgery the only option?

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

My wife has been dealing with severe bleeding hemorrhoids for over 3 years, and it's gotten really bad this past week with a lot of blood loss. Our baby is only 4 months old, so surgery isn't an option right now we're planning for May when our older son is on break. What can we do to stop the bleeding until then? It's happening way too often and we're really worried

To stop bleeding you can use the tablet pause mf ,one tablet twice a day for about 3-5 days.

I've been noticing blood mixed with mucus in my stool and had a capsule endoscopy that showed duodenal and proximal jejunal lymphangiectasia along with small bowel erosions. My sigmoidoscopy also found areas of hyperemia and superficial ulcers in the rectum. Earlier CT scans showed clumped ileal loops, but after surgery, the obstruction cleared though there's still mild wall thickening, mesenteric lymphadenopathy, and a bit of straw-colored free fluid in the abdomen. Could this be IBD like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? And what exactly is lymphangiectasia?

gastroenterology opinion is advised.
