A member asked:
2mm gallstone and 6mm polyp on gallbladder... is lap chole the only answer or could i pass this small gallstone on my own? naturally?

Extremely unlikely : Gallbladder flushes are an extreme form of medical quackery - they do not work. If your stone is not causing symptoms, then you're gallbladder does not need to be removed. Polyps less than 1 cm can be watched but need to be checked to ensure that they are not growing.

They could pass.: Theses are small enough to pass.
