Hi,
People who experience symptoms usually require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones that don't cause symptoms usually don't need treatment.
Self-care, Low-fat diet, Medications, Cholesterol medication, Surgery, Cholecystectomy and Laparoscopic surgery.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Monish De, Oncologist
