A member asked:

Is 2cm big for a gallstone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, I would : Say it is on larger side. But small stones can cause problems just as much as large stones. If you are having symptoms of gallbladder disease, you should have cholecystectomy, ask your surgeon for specific recommendation.
