A member asked:
I have a single 5ml gallstone is that big?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Size doesn't count: A 5mm stone is not big, but can cause problems at any size. If you have upper abdominal pain after eating, especially with fatty foods, see your doctor and ask if you need a referral to a surgeon for gallbladder removal - it's the only treatment for symptomatic gallstones. Hope this helps!
