My wife has multiple gallstones with the largest being 11.1 mm. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if there are other options to remove the stones without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Gallstones over 10‚ÄØmm are unlikely to dissolve with meds;non-surgical options like ursodeoxycholic acid work best for smaller stones under monitoring.

View allIs it safe to schedule an umbilical hernia surgery on amavasya or do doctors avoid operating on that day? I've heard some people say it's not a good time for surgeries but I'm not sure if that's just a myth
Many people are able to delay surgery for months or even years. And some people may never need surgery for a small hernia. If the hernia is small and you don't have any symptoms, or if the symptoms don't bother you much, you and your doctor may simply continue to watch for symptoms to occur.
