16mm is very big size for a gallstone. Gall bladder stones do not get dissolved with any kind of medications. Rather with time they keep on growing and may lead to severe complications. The only safe and the permanent solution is laparoscopic surgery which is a very simple safe amd permanent treatment optikn with no side effects in whole lifetime ,please visit a laparoscopic surgeon who will explain you all the details related to surgery.avoid oily/spicy foods as these aggravate pain that is caused by the stones.

Question

I had kidney stone laser surgery a month ago and was regularly going to the gym before that. The anesthesia was given on my spine during the operation does it weaken the bones? Can I start going to the gym again regularly or are there any exercise limitations I should know about

Question

I'm dealing with a kidney stone issue that started about 3 months ago. Initially, the stone was 4 mm and the treatment seemed to solve the problem, but now I'm experiencing some pain on my left side again. I've been trying K Mac B6 syrup to help with the stone, but I'm worried about any side effects it might have. Is K Mac B6 actually good for kidney stones, or should I be concerned about using it?

Question

I've been having some recurring issues after sexual activity, where I notice dryness and tears on my penis. There are also these small red dots on the head of my penis, but they don't seem too noticeable. When I searched online, it suggested it might be related to a yeast or fungal infection. I'm not really sure what to make of it, though. Could you give me some advice or thoughts on what might be going on?
