Cholelithiasis
I'm 27yrs old girl. I have gallstones since 2015 (multiple mobile calculi, average size of 5mm & largest one is 8mm). I don't get frequent pain. The first pain which i got was in the November month of 2015. Second pain on 22th oct 2017. Both pain were terrible. Extreme pain. I have done sonography & took advise of 3 surgeons. Doctors advised me straight for laparoscopic surgery (gall bladder removal). I wanna know, is there any other alternative? Surgery is compulsory?
