### input:
I have been diagnosed (via ultra-sound) of having 2 gallstones with 8mm size. Is surgery the only or best option? I first went to the doctor in Feb with the severe pain from lower back to 2 sides of abdomen and right side is the most effected with severe pain  also with some stomach discomfort and  vomitings, they indicated a elevated white blood count and subscribed antibiotics. But i was not feeling anything going fine, antibiotics were subscribed and I requested an ultrasound which indicated "2 gallstones"  Just want to make sure that what is the best thing to do. Thank U

Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor for your query.-Lithography. This procedure uses ultrasound waves to break up gallstones. It may be used alone or along with bile acids to break up stones. Used mostly for people who have long-term (chronic) inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis) and who are not strong enough for surgery. -Oral bile salt therapy (ursodeoxycholic acid) (particularly for x-ray-negative cholesterol gallstones in patients with normal gallbladder function). Medical management is more effective in patients with good gallbladder function who have small stones (You may just add the juice of half a lemon in glass of water and have it twice or thrice a day. However, best is surgical removal of gall bladder because a stone in gallbladder can slip into common bile duct or pancreatic duct causing pancreatitis or severe obstructive jaundice which can even be fatal. So treatment of choice is laparoscopic removal of gall bladder. In case of further question feel free to ask.
