Hello

Your husband's findings suggests multiple small gall bladder calculi and polyps.
Medicines are usually not helpful in gall badder calculus.
He should go for definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus.
Definitive treatment of gall bladder calculus is surgical removal of gall bladder(cholecystectomy).
You can plan operation after his recovery from pain.

Polyps are over growth of inner mucosal linings.These are generally benign findings.

Other findings like CBD,bowel loops,kidneys,pancreas etc are normal.

Get well soon.
Take Care
