A member asked:
How fast can gallstones grow? is it possible for them to get a lot bigger or grow to a large size within a month or two?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely that: Gallstones grow rapidly within a month or two. Size of stones is not as important as the symptoms they cause, however. Multiple small stones can sometimes cause more problems than single larger stone.
