Is There A Non Surgical Procedure For Removing Gall Stones?

I have gallstones. Suggested removal of gallbladder by allopathy doctors. But I am not for removing any organ. Now I am taking huh homeopathy treatment and the the doctor assured me that it can be cured. Do you have any other way of removing gall stones?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thank you for posting your question. I can understand your concern. Well, for gallstones the only treatment is a cholecystectomy I.e removal of the gallbladder. In this advanced era of laparoscopy , it would hardly take around 10 minutes for the completion of operation. But , if you do not undergo surgery a gallstone can slip into your common bile duct and cause jaundice , pain , fever. Alternative to surgery there is a drug called ursodeoxycholic acid which dissolves gallstone . But it is rarely used. I would suggest you to consult a surgeon and get your operation done. All the best. Feel free to post other questions.
