Diagnosis Confirmation

• Confirm gallstone size and symptoms with an ultrasound.

Treatment Options

• Consider surgical removal (cholecystectomy) or non-surgical methods.

Surgical Approach

• Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the standard treatment for gallstones.

Non-Surgical Alternatives

• Oral bile acid pills (like Ursodil) may dissolve smaller stones; effectiveness is limited for larger stones.
• Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy may be an option in select cases.

When to Seek Surgery

• Surgery is recommended if you experience pain, infection, or other complications.

Specialist Consultation

• Consult a general surgeon or gastroenterologist for personalized management.
