How Serious Is It To Have 2 Gall Bladder Stones Of 14mm? Can Surgery Be Avoided?

Hi,
My mother is 58 years old and she has 2 gall bladder stones of 14 mm. She has stones for 3 yrs (apprx) with no symptoms. Her uncle also had an history of stones. Would request you to clarify the following:
1) Can surgery be avoided?
2) How serious it is?
3) Will the stones multiply in future, if we don't get it removed.
4) Is it related to cancer or any malicious disease?
Please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
You have got gall stones, and they are of a large size. They can cause weight pressure on the bladder, and may burst, can cause severe pain, or may not cause any. So the surgery may be avoided at patients own risk.
There is no possibility of becoming malignant.Nor related to cancer.
Every thing is not predictable, any thing can happen. may have more stones or not.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts,and
protein rich foods to have a good health.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
