For any size of gall bladder stone, surgery is the treatment of choice. No medicine till date dissolves the gall stones. Yes some people claim that probably ayurvedic or homeopathic medicines dissolve the stones, but it is not proven. Rather the stones keep on increasing in size and number and may cause severe complications. Laparoscopic surgery is the gold standard treatment.
Next Steps
please consult a laparoscopic surgeon who will advice you the same and plan for the surgery
