My mom's ultrasound showed her gallbladder is full of polyps, with the largest being 15mm. The gastroenterologist recommended surgery to remove the gallbladder. Are there any alternative treatments like homeopathy that could help instead of surgery?

I've had a lump on my chest for a few months now, and it's pressing on my esophagus because sometimes I have trouble swallowing food. It feels like it's right under the skin, maybe on the middle chest bone at the bottom. It's about an inch in diameter, soft, moving, and not painful. Im wondering if it could be a Lipoma since I have other similar lumps on my arms and thighs that haven't caused problems. I haven't been able to see a doctor in person yet because of Covid. Do you think this is likely a benign, noncancerous tumor? Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

my wife has been diagnosed with gallbladder stones and she's been having stomach pain. is surgery the only option or are there other treatments we can try first? just worried about whether an operation is absolutely necessary

Gallstones that cause no symptoms, generally don't need any medical treatment. In certain cases (such as abdominal surgery for other conditions), doctors may remove your gallbladder if you are at high risk of complications of gallstones.
