How Can A Gall Bladder Stone Be Treated Non-surgically?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Well, there are some nonsurgical methods but these are mostly unsuccesful. You need to change your dietary habits first. You need to avoid fried food, carbonated drinks, coffee, alcohol and spicy food. You should eat more milk products, vegetables and boiled food. Ursodeoxycholic acid may be used for smaller stones and may dissolve them, ultrasound waves may do it as well, but success is very limited. If there is no improvement on lifestyle or dietary changes, then surgery is recommended. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein
