Which is scarier, gallstones or kidney stones?

Gallstones and kidney stones are not more terrible, timely treatment will not cause great harm to the patient, but if it causes serious complications are more dangerous. When gallstones are small or do not cause obvious symptoms in patients, they can be treated without special treatment, only observation and follow-up; when gallstones induce acute cholecystitis leading to right upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms, they can be treated with elective surgery, usually laparoscopic cholecystectomy, which is a minimally invasive surgery, with less damage to the patient and quicker recovery, without serious complications. Kidney stone attack will cause severe abdominal pain, generally less than 0.6cm kidney stone can be broken by ultrasonic lithotripsy, 0.6~2cm kidney stone can be nephroscopic lithotripsy, while greater than 2cm kidney stone usually need surgery. Anyone suffering from gallstones or kidney stones should go to the hospital in time for timely treatment under the advice and guidance of the doctor to prevent further development of the disease.
