Brief Answer:
Herbal treatment is not working for you.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
Gall bladder stones are a common problem at your age and many people have it. Herbal treatment works only for few people.
A single gall bladder stone less than 10 mm which is not causing pain or jaundice does not require treatment.
However any person with more than one gall stone or if the stone measures more than 10 mm or if there is pain and jaundice because of the stones then a surgery is recommended.
Since your stones are 11 mm and 10 mm and there are 3 stones which are gorwing in size with herbal treatment, therefore a surgical treatment is best. The gall bladder wall is thin on ultrasound and this means there is no inflammation.
You can discuss your problem with a surgeon because herbal treatment is not working for you.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
