You’re here because something doesn’t feel right. Maybe you woke up with sudden, intense pain that took your breath away. Or perhaps you’ve been dealing with discomfort for days, wondering if you should be worried.
Let’s figure this out together – and more importantly, let’s get you the help you need.
Can you prevent them? You can reduce your risk by maintaining a steady weight, eating regular meals, and staying active. However, even marathon runners with a perfect diet can still develop gallstones. Sometimes it’s just genetics.
As a surgeon, I need to be direct with you: gallstones don’t improve on their own. They get worse, and the complications can be life-threatening.
Patients who wait often tell me: “I wish I hadn’t suffered for so long.” Don’t be one of them.
I respect patients who try natural approaches first. However, gallstones are physical obstructions, like rocks blocking a pipe. No herb can dissolve them or remove the blockage causing your pain.
Those online “gallstone flushes”? The green blobs people pass are just olive oil mixed with salts, not actual stones.
Bottom line: Natural remedies might help you feel better temporarily, but they cannot solve the underlying problem.
DO:
DON’T:
Here’s what many people don’t realise: your gallbladder has become a “stone factory.” Even if we could safely remove just the stones (which we can’t), your gallbladder would likely produce more.
Gallbladder removal is the definitive solution because it permanently eliminates the source of the problem. And here’s the good news: you live perfectly normally without your gallbladder.
As a specialist in minimally invasive surgery, we use proven Robotic/ laparoscopic techniques that offer:
Why laparoscopic is superior: Multiple small incisions give me optimal visualisation and instrument control, making the procedure safer and more precise than traditional open surgery or newer techniques that compromise surgical view.
If this sounds like what you’re experiencing, don’t spend another day wondering and worrying.
Many of my patients say, “I wish I’d come in sooner instead of suffering through the pain and fear.”
Here’s what happens next:
Quick answer: While kidney stones cause more immediate pain, gallstones are generally more dangerous because they rarely resolve on their own and can cause life-threatening complications like an infected gallbladder or blocked bile ducts.
Both deserve prompt medical attention, but gallstones typically require definitive surgical treatment.
You have two choices: continue living with pain, worry, and dietary restrictions, or take action to solve this problem permanently.
The patients who do best are those who act quickly. Don’t let another week pass. Your future self will thank you for making the call today.
