I have a gallbladder stone of 18 mm, and I do not want surgery. Is there any medicine that can help dissolve it?

Asked by Male, 34 ยท 15 days ago

An 18 mm gallbladder stone is quite large and unlikely to dissolve with medication alone. Some medicines may help with small stones, but they are usually not effective for bigger ones like this. Avoid fatty foods and monitor your symptoms to prevent attacks. Do not try any treatment on your own and consult a doctor to discuss the safest management options.
