Stone in gall bladder
Hello. I am having a 17 mm stone in my gall bladder . I am currently having no pain . But it's a gigantic gallstone . I am a 42 year old woman . Since I am having no pain , should I get the operation done right now or keep it going like this for some time like one year or too. I know operation is must but my question is whether I should get it done right now or is it okay to get it done even after an Year

Hello there..... There is no permanent medical cure for gallstones. Although there are medical measures that can be taken to remove stones or relive symptoms, they are only temporary. If a patient has symptoms from gallstones, surgical removal of the gallbladder is the best treatment. Asymptomatic (producing no symptoms) gallstones do not require treatment.
