I am 62 years old. One year when I underwent medical check up a stone of about 5 mm was detected in gallbladder in sonography test. So far I am not experiencing any pain or any difficulty in urinating etc. Is it required to remove the stone by surgery or it can remain there. Any harm in keeping it.
