What are Gallstones?
Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder due to imbalances in bile components. They may be as small as grains of sand or as large as a golf ball and can cause pain, inflammation, or blockages in the bile ducts.
Trigger Foods to Avoid in a Diet
Fatty Foods
Stimulate excessive bile release, triggering pain
Fried Foods
Difficult to digest and can worsen gallstone symptoms
Processed Meats
High in unhealthy fats that increase cholesterol in bile
Dairy Products
High-fat dairy can exacerbate gallbladder symptoms
Sugary Foods
May raise triglyceride levels and risk of gallstones
Carbonated Beverages
Cause bloating and discomfort
Symptoms for Gallstone
Severe Abdominal Pain
Sudden pain in the upper right or middle abdomen
Nausea and Vomiting
Common during gallstone attacks
Jaundice
Yellowing of skin and eyes if bile duct is blocked
Fever and Chills
May indicate gallbladder infection
Back or Shoulder Pain
Pain may radiate to back or right shoulder
Indigestion and Bloating
After eating fatty or large meals
Common Causes of Gallstone
Cholesterol Imbalance
Excess cholesterol in bile forms crystals
Poor Gallbladder Emptying
Leads to stagnant bile, increasing risk
Obesity
Increases cholesterol levels in bile
Rapid Weight Loss
Alters bile composition quickly
High-Fat Diet
Stimulates bile saturation
Risk Factors for Gallstone
Female Gender
More prone due to hormonal influences
Obesity
Increases cholesterol in bile
Sedentary Lifestyle
Slows digestion and bile flow
Age Over 40
Risk increases with age
Diabetes
Alters fat metabolism
High-Fat Diet
Promotes gallstone formation
Complications if Gallstone Left Untreated
Cholecystitis
Inflammation of the gallbladder
Pancreatitis
Blockage of pancreatic duct by gallstones
Jaundice
Due to bile duct obstruction
Bile Duct Infection
Serious and requires prompt treatment
Gallbladder Rupture
Rare but life-threatening condition
Bowel Obstruction
Large stone may block intestine
Diagnosis
Gallstones are diagnosed using imaging tests and clinical evaluation of symptoms.
Diagnostic Methods
- Ultrasound (most common and effective)
- CT Scan (for complications or unclear cases)
- MRCP (to evaluate bile ducts)
- Blood Tests (to detect infection or inflammation)
