My dad was just diagnosed with gall bladder stones and we're unsure if he needs surgery or if medication would work he's also having pain when he pees. What's the best way to handle this?

The first step is to address the pain during urination, which could indicate a urinary tract infection or other urinary problem. Then, discuss with a doctor the best course of action for the gall bladder stones, which could involve medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery

I found out I have gallstones around 0.88 mm in my gallbladder from a USG report but I don't have any pain they were discovered accidentally during a scan for something else. Do I really need surgery or can they be treated with medicine?
Gallstones detected incidentally without pain often don’t need surgery immediately but should be monitored for symptoms or complications.

I've been dealing with this really weird problem where my breath smells like rotten eggs or sulfur and I just can't figure out why. I brush my teeth three times a dayafter I wake up, after lunch, and before bed. I also floss regularly and use nonalcoholic mouthwash. I used to have tonsil stones and thought that might be the reason, but even after getting my tonsils removed, the smell hasn't gone away. It's like the smell is coming from the top of my mouth or maybe even from my stomach. My diet is pretty normal, and I'm maintaining a healthy weight at 6'2'' and 180 lbs. Plus, I'm pretty active since I'm always on my feet at work. What do you think could be causing this?
It could be related to gastrointestinal issues. I recommend trying a medication like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production, which can sometimes contribute to bad breath. Additionally, you can try using simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help reduce gas in the stomach, which can also cause bad breath. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for these medications. If the issue persists, consider consulting with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
