Gall stone
My mother had 8mm stone in gall bladder 5 months earlier. Now the size has increased to 20mm. She is having regular abdominal pain and gastric problems. Can it be cured by medicines ? Is she in any kind of danger ?
I have attatched both the reports. Please guide !!
Gallstones once diagnosed should be removed by laparoscopic surgery.. gallstones cannot be cured by any form of medication.. keeping gallstones can lead to so many complications.. removal of gallstones is the most commonly performed surgery.. surgery hardly lasts15-20mins
