Hello
Multiple gall bladder calculi(largest: 6 mm)is not expected to get removed without therapy.
I suggest for definitive treatment of gall bladder stones.
Definitive treatment is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
Gall bladder calculus are prone to infection and obstruction,so it is wise to get rid of it.
Gall bladder calculus usually doesn't respond to medical management.
In some patient,trail of gall stone dissolving medicines like ursodeoxycholic acid tablet may be helpful in dissolving calculus.
Get well soon.
