<human>: Hello Sir, I have Gallbladder stone around 1cm since more than 5 years. There are no change in the size of the stone or no new stones formed. Im feeling bloating always specially after fatty and spicy food. Some time I get pain in lower right ribs. My questions for you sir, 1. Since my Gallbladder dont have any issues, I dont want to get rid of it. Is there anyway to grind the stone and get out of Gallbladder for once. 2.  Doctor said since stone is around 1 cm, it wont get stuck is duct. But still why I am feeling bloating and pain in the stomach.  Thanks for your suggestions.
<bot>: Brief Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)Detailed Answer:Hello Welcome to Chat Doctor. My name is Chat Doctor. I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way....... You have discussed multiple things here and raised multiple questions here so I will touch all those things one by one.(1) Is there any non-surgical way to remove Bladder stone : Yes there are many ways but in daily practice we use I- Therapeutic ERCP 2- Therapeutic MRCP These two techniques both diagnose and treat gall stones even if they are obstructing the ducts... But again these techniques have limitations depending upon other diseases patients have, type and size of stone, expertise of attending doctor, age and sex of patient and prior surgeries, infection and damage.(2)1 cm stone won't struck in duct: In my opinion Gall stone are always time bombs and most surgeons hurry to remove them before they get struck and cause complications like jaundice, peritonitis and Pancreatitis and liver damage.(3)Bloating and stomach issues: This issue may or may not be related to your Gall stone problem, there are millions of patients who have this issue without any other issues with their gall bladder. Fatty and spicy food causes discomfort in 70% of population even if they don't have gall bladder issues ... THINGS TO DO: (1) Discuss with your doctor about options of ERCP, MRCP... (2) Reduce Smoking, Fat content, Spice and fuzzy
