How can i get rid of gallstones without any surgeries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
INEFFECIENT: If your gallstones don't bother you, don't do anything. For symptomatic stones, surgery is the best option. Lithotripsy has not proved to be a good choice, and chemical dissolution of stones is slow, expensive, and temporary. You cannot cause them to pass by drinking concoctions such as olive oil and lemon juice so don't try. Talk to your doctor or surgeon for the facts. Good luck.
