A member asked:
What do the doctors do if you have small gallbladder stones?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They advise surgery: The standard treatment for gallstones is removing the gallbladder; i believe this should be the last resort rather than initial treatment. I've had many patients have great success with natural therapies to dissolve gallstones & flush them out of the liver/gallbladder. See http://www.Townsendletter.Com/july2011/momiracles0711.Html & the amazing liver and gallbladder flush by andreas moritz.

If you have pain: Or other symptoms, usually a cholecystectomy, or gallbladder removal. Size of stones does not really matter, unlike kidney stones. Sometimes, small stones can go into the common duct and cause more problems than if they stayed in the gallbladder, such as pancreatitis, jaundice, or cholangitis. At your age, chances of needing cholecystectomy within your lifetime is pretty high.
