lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. 9 mm sized gall stone is big enough. One of the methods of reducing a gall stone is taking ursodeoxycholic acid tablets to be taken for almost two years, still the effect is not as expected. So most often gall bladder surgery is recommended. Since you are a medical student, can talk to top surgeons in your institute and find out about the surgery and its effects. Gall bladder removal is not going to affect your health in any way. That is the best option as dissolving the stones is most unlikely to happen. If there are no troublesome symptoms then there is no reason to worry. Thanks.
