Question

My mom's gallbladder shows an 11mm size but she has no symptoms at all should we consider surgery or can it resolve on its own? What are the best ways to clear the gallbladder naturally?

If your mom has an 11 mm gallstone but no symptoms (asymptomatic), surgery is usually not needed right away. Many people live without issues, but regular monitoring is advised. Gallstones typically don't dissolve on their own, and "natural" remedies are not proven to clear them. Surgery is considered only if symptoms develop.

Question

Can I dissolve gallbladder stones with medication or do I need surgery to just remove the stones without taking out the whole gallbladder

Question

My dad has an 11 mm gallbladder stone and we're really worried about his health. Is it dangerous for him? Should he consider surgery or are there other treatment options? We're not sure what to do next.

Question

I've been getting these muscle pains that feel just like a heart attack, but every time, it's diagnosed as acidity. This has been happening for six years now. And in the last two years, I've started having panic attacks that again feel like I'm having a heart attack. I've done stress tests and an echo test, and fortunately, they turned out fine. I've also had gastroscopy done twice. What could be causing these symptoms? Could it just be stress or something else? I'm really looking for some guidance on what steps to take next.
