5mm Gallstone without symptoms
I went for the regular checkup, I have found 5mm gallstone. Which is not giving pain and symptoms. What to do? Shall I go for surgery or have medicine for dissolution?

Hi if you don't have upper abdominal pain / post meal fullness / discomfort / upper back pain , then you don't require surgery. This is asymptomatic gall stone. In case you develop any of above symptoms them you require surgery. You can read my article on Practo- Gall bladder stone.feel free to ask any further quary.
