Gallstones
My brother having 10mm gallstones. Is there any way to get it dissolved without surgery?? Can he take ursodiol? For how long? What dose? Is there any other way to avoid surgery? What foods to avoid strictly? Thanks.

If he is asymptotic then nothing is required for his age! It can trouble him on two ways in future either get infected or stone trying to slip into the duct! Many a times they live whole life without any problems, But once it gives trouble with fever and sever pain then it needs to be removed. No drugs work in dissolving it! You need only periodic check up now! No drugs, but avoid too much of fatty and oily food!
