My wife has several gallbladder stones around 56 mm in size and the doctors are recommending immediate surgery. I'm really worried and wondering if there are any other options like medications or natural remedies that could help instead of going straight for surgery. Is it possible to dissolve or pass these stones without an operation?

I'm really worried because my belly button is sore and there's this clear, thin discharge coming out of it that smells really bad. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
I recommend using an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol for any discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
