Suggest Natural Remedy For The Removal Of Gall Stone

During an ultrasound scan, it was found that there is a 8mm gallstone. I remember having stomach pain once an year back, do not know if it is because of this.
In this case, What could be done? are there are any natural ways to bring this out, would there be any complication if i leave it for now.

Hello
Now diagnosis is established , so you can concentrate solely on this point.
Gall stone is usually multiple but in your case it is one 8 mm size , very small .
I want to tell you that gall bladder stone is very common , exact reason is not known.
Now a days for dissolution of cholesterol-rich-gallstone is used "URSODEOXYCHOLIC ACID " orally .
Dosage :6-12 mg daily as a single dose at bed time or in the 2-3 divided doses contined for 3-4 months after radiological disappearance of stones.
Doses may be divided unequally w/a higher dose given before bed time to counteract increase in biliary cholesterol situation which occurs in early morning .
Maximum doses 15 mg /kg.
This is a commonly used drugs for gallbladder stone , so you can try .
Mild side effects are there but benefits are more , so you can use .
Nausea , diarrhea , pruritus , gall stone precipitation are common side effects.
Hope this will help you.
Other option is surgical removal of gallbladder .
But in my opinion take this treatment regularly and also get in ultrasound after every one month to observe the size of gall stone , even size increases after 3 months treatment then get a surgery.
Hope this will help you.
I find this answer helpful
