A member asked:
Should i take birth control pills if i already have a gallstone w/ is about 3-4mm in size?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely not: Asymptomatic gallstones are of no consequence. If you have symptoms, such as RUQ pain, nausea , bloating, especially after fatty foods, you'll need to see a surgeon or focus on a low fat diet. Either way, you don't have to stop your bcp's. Good luck.
