Gallbladder stones have become a common health concern, especially among women above 40 years. Many patients are advised surgery as the only solution, yet a large number fear operations and look for a natural treatment for gallbladder calculi without surgery. The following case of Mrs. Sobha Nandigama from Pune shows how an 8 mm gallstone was completely dissolved with carefully selected homeopathic medicines under the guidance of Dr. Vaseem Choudhary.
Patient’s Details:
-
Name: Mrs. Sobha Nandigama
-
Age: 56 years
-
Gender: Female
-
Location: Pune, Maharashtra
-
Known Medical Condition: Hypothyroidism (on regular treatment)
Mrs. Sobha was leading an active life until she began experiencing troubling digestive complaints. Over a few months the symptoms became severe and started affecting her daily routine, appetite, and sleep.
Patient Symptom
-
The patient came with multiple complaints strongly indicating gallbladder involvement:
-
Continuous pain in the right side liver region
-
Severe discomfort after eating food
-
Indigestion and bloating even with light meals
-
Nausea and vomiting, especially worse from the smell of food
-
Low-grade fever in the evening
-
Difficulty in swallowing both solids and liquids
-
Persistent headache
-
General weakness and loss of interest in food
The pain used to increase after oily meals and at night. She often avoided family dinners because even the aroma of cooking triggered nausea. This was a classic picture of symptomatic gallbladder stone.

Medical Report before Starting Homeopathic Treatment Gallbladder stone:
The foundation of any successful treatment is an accurate diagnosis. In the case of Mrs. Sobha Nandigama, the abdominal sonography performed on 26 June 2021 provided a clear picture of the underlying pathology. The report confirmed the presence of a single gallbladder calculi measuring 8 mm, along with partial distension of the gallbladder. This finding correlated strongly with the intense symptoms she had been experiencing for several months.
Clinical Interpretation of the Report
The ultrasound findings were significant for several reasons:
-
Stone Size and Location
-
The calculi measured 8 mm, a size often considered borderline for surgical recommendation.
-
It was located inside the gallbladder lumen, causing intermittent obstruction of bile flow.
-
-
Gallbladder Condition
-
Partial distension indicated poor emptying of bile.
-
This explained the patient’s complaints of heaviness after meals and persistent indigestion.
-
-
Correlation with Symptoms
-
Right hypochondriac pain matched the anatomical position of the stone.
-
Nausea triggered by food smell suggested hypersensitivity of the digestive system.
-
Evening fever and headache pointed toward inflammatory irritation.
-
-
Risk Factors Present
-
Age above 50
-
Female gender
-
History of hypothyroidism
-
Sedentary routine
-
Irregular digestion
-
All these elements together confirmed a classical case of symptomatic cholelithiasis, commonly referred to as gallbladder stone disease.
The treatment was started by using homeopathic medicines from Dr. Vaseem Choudhary MD on 01/08/2021.

Follow-Up Progress
First Follow-Up – 23 September 2021
After nearly seven weeks of treatment, remarkable changes were noticed:
-

-
Nausea and vomiting almost absent
-

The improvement became even more evident:
-
No nausea or vomiting
-
No pain after meals
-
Headache completely stopped
-
Digestion normal

To assess internal progress, a repeat sonography was advised.
Medical Report after Treatment:
After nearly four months of individualized homeopathic treatment under Dr. Vaseem Choudhary, a repeat abdominal sonography was performed on 04 December 2021 to evaluate the response. The findings brought remarkable and encouraging results.

The ultrasound clearly mentioned:
-
No evidence of gallbladder calculi
-
Gallbladder lumen completely clear
-
No biliary sludge or polyp
-
Normal gallbladder wall thickness
-
Proper bile flow
-
Liver and surrounding organs within normal limits
This report objectively confirmed that the previously detected 8 mm gallstone had fully dissolved without any surgical intervention.
Clinical Improvement Observed
The radiological recovery perfectly matched the patient’s symptomatic relief:
-
Right-sided abdominal pain completely resolved
-
No nausea or vomiting even after regular meals
-
Appetite returned to normal
-
Swallowing difficulty disappeared
-
Headache stopped entirely
-
Energy levels improved

These changes reflected restoration of normal gallbladder function, which is the main goal of homeopathy for gallbladder stone treatment without surgery.
Medical Report After Treatment
The ultrasound dated 4 December 2021 showed:
-
Gallbladder clear from stones or calculi
-
No mass, polyp, or biliary sludge
-
Normal gallbladder wall
-
Proper bile flow
This confirmed that the 8 mm gallstone had completely dissolved within approximately four months of homeopathic treatment. The patient was overjoyed as she could avoid surgery and return to normal life.
Understanding How Homeopathy Helped
Gallstones are not only mechanical deposits; they reflect metabolic imbalance. Homeopathic medicines work by:
-
Improving bile secretion and flow
-
Reducing inflammation of gallbladder wall
-
Correcting digestive weakness
-
Addressing associated symptoms like acidity, nausea, headache
-
Considering co-existing conditions such as hypothyroidism
This holistic approach makes homeopathic gallstone treatment for middle-aged women a valuable option when surgery is not immediately required.
Why Patients Search for Alternatives to Surgery
Many people hesitate for cholecystectomy due to:
-
Fear of operation
-
Post-surgery digestive issues
-
Financial concerns
-
Desire for natural healing
-
Multiple health problems like thyroid or diabetes
Cases like Mrs. Sobha show that with proper case selection and regular follow-up, gallbladder stone dissolved by homeopathy can be a realistic possibility.
Lifestyle Support During Treatment
During the course, the patient followed simple measures:
-
Avoided deep-fried food
-
Increased salads and fiber
-
Took warm water in the morning
-
Practiced slow eating
-
Managed stress and sleep
These steps supported the action of medicines and prevented further stone formation.
Long-Term Outcome
Even after stopping medicines, she remained symptom-free. Her thyroid levels were also more stable. Today she enjoys normal meals, attends family functions, and no longer fears abdominal pain.
Conclusion
This case clearly demonstrates that an 8 mm gallbladder stone can be treated with homeopathy within 3–4 months when managed under expert guidance. The journey of Mrs. Sobha Nandigama from Pune highlights the potential of individualized medicines to restore gallbladder health without surgery.
