In clinical treatment of gallstones, there are two methods: one is surgical treatment, which involves removing the diseased gallbladder and extracting the stones; the other is non-surgical therapy, which includes TCM and Western medicine symptomatic treatment, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, stone dissolution, and other therapies. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.Recommendations: There are many non-surgical treatment options, such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture, oral stone-dissolving drugs, and extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Herbal decoctions composed of herbs like (Jin Qian Cao), (Yin Chen), and (Da Huang) have achieved stone-expelling effects in some patients. However, this method does not work for most patients to completely expel stones. If the stones are large and hard, it is very difficult to pass them. Stones within the gallbladder also have poor expelling effects due to the narrow gallbladder ducts. Therefore, clinical doctors generally consider that non-surgical treatment is not suitable for biliary stones with a diameter greater than 1.5 cm or gallbladder stones larger than 0.5 cm.
