Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Greetings from health care magic!!! I am Dr Thakker and shall be answering your question.

I can understand your concern about gall stones. I will try my best to answer your question.

You have a 13 mm size gallstone which is symptomatic. The best treatment would be a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, if you do not wish to undergo surgery I would recommend an anti spasmodic drug along with an analgesic. The rules of the website prevent me from prescribing a particular. also medical treatment is just temporary. The surgery is safe and curative.

I hope this helps you out. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to write back to me.

Yours sincerely,
Dr Thakker.
