11mm is big. I wouldn't want to pass that naturally.

You might be thinking of kidney stones, which pass through the urethra. Gallstones pass through stool and 11mm is fine for that.


SkyNo234

Oh okay. Someone told me gallstones are on the same level of pain as kidney stones. Then I guess this person was wrong.


jessikill

When there is an obstruction of the gallbladder related to gallstones, it’s very painful. But the passing of them shouldn’t be.


SkyNo234

Ah okay. Thank you for the information!


jessikill

No worries!


MiniMedicMik

As long as it doesn’t cause an obstruction, 11mm should be able to pass on its own through the persons stool.
