It is possible that some of the small, sediment-like stones can be removed by exercise, but most gallstones cannot be removed by exercise.
It is possible for some small gallstones to be discharged after exercise, usually through the common bile duct and into the intestines when the body position is changed, but this is rare and can be dangerous.
Gallstones need to pass through the common bile duct in order to be discharged from the gallbladder to the intestines, and both the cystic duct and the end of the common bile duct are relatively narrow, so if gallstones are discharged to the common bile duct through exercise, they may be obstructed when they reach the end of the common bile duct, which may also lead to obstructive jaundice, cholangitis and other complications in severe cases.
For patients with gallstones, ultrasound examination can be carried out to understand the size of the stone, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment, and exercise is not recommended for stone removal.
