Gall bladder stone size 22mm - #3763

Anonymously

My mother recently had an ultrasound, and it showed that she has a gall bladder stone size 22mm. She hasn’t had any severe pain yet, but there’s occasional discomfort after heavy meals. The doctor suggested surgery, but we’re exploring non-surgical options, especially through Ayurveda. Is a gall bladder stone size 22mm too large to be treated naturally, or are there Ayurvedic remedies that can help dissolve or manage the stone? I’ve read about herbal formulations like Punarnava and Gokshura – do they work effectively for stones of this size? Also, would switching to a low-fat, vegetarian diet help in reducing symptoms or preventing further stone formation? How long does it typically take for Ayurvedic treatments to show results for gallstones? Are there risks of complications, like blockages or infections, if we choose not to go for surgery right away? I’m also curious if there are specific lifestyle changes, like drinking warm water with lemon or avoiding oily foods, that Ayurveda recommends for gall bladder health. If anyone has dealt with a gall bladder stone size 22mm through Ayurvedic methods, what worked for you? Did the remedies reduce the stone size or just help manage symptoms? I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences on handling this condition naturally.

Ayurvedic Management of 22mm Gall Bladder Stone Remedies: Punarnava, Gokshura, and herbal decoctions can manage symptoms but may not dissolve large stones like 22mm. Diet: A low-fat, vegetarian diet helps reduce symptoms. Risks: Delaying surgery may lead to complications like blockages or infections. Lifestyle Tips: Drink warm water with lemon, avoid heavy/oily meals, and include turmeric and dandelion root. Effectiveness: Ayurveda may manage pain and inflammation but is unlikely to dissolve large stones completely.
