Hi thanks for asking question.

You have not mentioned size of stones reported in USG report.

First if gall stone asymptomatic then no need of removal of gall bladder.Conservative management with close follow up needed.

But if stones larger and causing pain and other obstructive symptoms then need for removal of gall bladder by surgery.

Noted you have pain.So if it is increasing and remain constant better to consult surgeon for its removal.

Meanwhile take low fat diet.

Fruits taken more.

Avoid smoking and alcohol.

If jaundice occur or vomitting and increasing abdominal pain then consult doctor.

I hope your concern is solved.

Take care.
