My mom is 56 years old, 5'2¬ù tall, and weighs 55 kg. She has multiple gallstones ranging from 4mm to 10-11 mm. Can this be treated naturally with homeopathy or ayurvedic medicine, or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend for her condition?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For gallstones, especially those larger than 10mm, surgery (laparoscopic cholecystectomy) is generally recommended for effective removal. While homeopathic and ayurvedic approaches may offer symptom relief and support overall digestive health, they are not proven to dissolve or remove gallstones.

View allI've noticed that for the past few months, my stool has been really dark, like black or brown, and kind of sticky. There's no pain or anything, but it just doesn't seem normal to me. Should I be concerned and what might be causing it?
Dark black or brown sticky stool can be a sign of gastrointestinal bleeding. I recommend you to take **Pantoprazole** to reduce stomach acid and **Sucralfate** to help protect the lining of the stomach and intestines. These medications can help in case there is any ulceration or irritation in the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, it is important to follow up with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling some discomfort in my upper abdomen and my liver ultrasound shows it's enlarged with increased echogenicity. There aren't any focal lesions or dilated ducts, and my common duct measures about 3mm while the portal vein is 10mm at the porta. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I should do next?
