What Does Gall Stone Of 10x7mm From 10mm Suggest?

Hi, my mom had a gall stone measuring 10 mm. She had severe abdominal pain and bloating since last three months but is relieved after some medicines. But the doctor suggests lap cholecystectomy. The latest sonography shows 10 x 7 mm. What is the difference between 10 mm n 10 x 7 mm. Has it increased or decreased. What is the ideal option of treatment for the gall bladder calculus?
