A member asked:

How can i safely pass gallstones naturally? i'm also 26 weeks pregnant.

Dr. Creighton Wright answered

Specializes in surgery

Some pass: Depends on size of stone and size of cystic duct and common duct. Most stay put and irritate! if asymptomatic, get through the pregnancy and then deal with cholecystectomy.

Natural gallstones: No such thing. When you deliver you will need surgery if symptoms persist.
