What are Gallstones?
Gallstones are hardened deposits that develop inside the gallbladder when substances present in bile, such as cholesterol or bilirubin, become concentrated and form solid particles. They can vary in size, from very small deposits to larger stones. Some people may have gallstones without experiencing any symptoms, while others can develop repeated pain or digestive discomfort when the stones interfere with the normal flow of bile. When a gallstone blocks the opening of the gallbladder or bile duct, it can cause upper abdominal pain, particularly after meals, along with nausea, vomiting, bloating, or indigestion. In some cases, blockage may lead to inflammation, infection, jaundice, or other complications.
