My age is 25 female unmarried, recently I discovered 13 mm stone in gallbladder (Cholelithiasis) and before this I had 2-3 times severe back pain and vomiting, breathlessness in last 3-4 months. And I consulted to a doctor and he is suggesting me for lithotripsy. Please give me your views as im worried. Its future advantage/disadvantages. Is this only way out? Please guide fast.

There is no way to expel gall bladder stones (unlike case of kidney stones). So gall stones if they r not creating problem, let them be there. But do follow annual checkups. But if they r causing problem, its better to remove them.
