Gallstones

Accurate Diagnosis and Advanced Surgical Treatment for Gallbladder Stones

What Are Gallstones?

Gallstones are hardened deposits of bile that form in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver that aids digestion. These stones can vary in size and number, and may cause symptoms when they block the flow of bile, leading to pain and complications.

Common Symptoms of Gallstones

• Sudden, intense pain in the upper right abdomen or back (biliary colic)
• Nausea or vomiting, especially after fatty meals
• Indigestion or bloating
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin or eyes, in severe cases)
• Fever or chills (may indicate gallbladder infection)

Note: Some people may have “silent” gallstones with no symptoms, but complications can develop suddenly.

Types of Gallstones

• Cholesterol Stones – Most common type, often yellow-green
• Pigment Stones – Smaller, darker stones made of bilirubin
• Mixed Stones – Combination of cholesterol and pigment components

When Should You Seek Medical Help?

You should consult a specialist if you:

• Have repeated episodes of abdominal pain after meals
• Are diagnosed with gallstones on an ultrasound
• Experience fever, jaundice, or severe discomfort
• Have diabetes or other health issues that increase the risk of complications
