A member asked:
I have a 13 to 14 mm gallbladder stone. i am not getting any pain and do not even know that i have a stone. it came to light only in ultrasound scan?

Gallstone: It will only cause pain if it obstructs the tube that drains your gallbladder (common bile duct). If it obstructs it for long enough it can cause acute cholecystitis which is a surgical emergency. A surgeon may way to prophylactically remove your gallbladder.
