Gall bladder stones
4 months back USG ABDOMEN of my daughter revealed multiple gallbladder stones, largest measuring 13mm. On taking Ursodeoxycholic Acid, 300 mg twice daily on the advice of gastroenterologist, the size of largest stone has come down to 11 mm but during the period my daughter experienced severe pain abdomen totally thrice from the day of diagnosis, that is 4 months span and used to get relief from pain on having I.V pain killers from hospital. My daughter experienced abdomen pain whenever she took spicy and oily food. Her CBP and LFT reports are normal.
Kindly advise further course of treatment for her recovery from present condition.

Normally gall bladder stones of more than 5mm are very unsual to get dissolved with medications... If the pain which is happening is because of stones...then surgery is the only option and LFT can be normal... Vsist a Gastroenterologist to have a discussion on type of pain and if doctor thinks the pain is typical of biliary colic then surgery is must
