A member asked:
Is there a way to tell what kind of gallstone i have (pigment or cholesterol, etc.)? through mri? ultrasound? ct scan? etc.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gallstone: If your doctor has told you that you have a gallstone, surely she/he has explained this to you. If no one has told you that you have a gallstone what is your concern?

A member asked:
Bro has 16mm gallstone, the doctor can't rectify if it's cholesterol stones or pigment ones. Can he use ursodiol or actigall or urso medication and see if they dissolve instead of gallbladder removal?
