Suggest Treatment To Remove Gallbladder Stone
hi, my mother has gone for ultrasound and there is a big 16mm stone in her gall bladder. we don t want to step into the surgery at first place so is there any home treatment to dissolve this big stone. I have heard of many home treatments like apple juice and Epsom salt usage. Please if you can suggest a better option to go for and are these home treatments safe for 55 year old lady.

Hello
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
Home treatment like apple juice and epsom salt are not helpful in dissolving gall stones.
She should be planned for early operation because gall bladder calculus is prone to get infection and obstruction.
It is not good to keep gall bladder calculus for long period.
Take Care
