What are Gallbladder Stones?

Gallbladder stones, or gallstones, are solid particles that form in the gallbladder from bile components. These stones can vary in size and may cause severe pain, blockages, and infections in the bile ducts. One of the most common symptoms of gallstones is pain in the upper right abdomen. Gallbladder stones can be treated depending on their size, type, and the symptoms they cause. Factors such as diet, excess body weight, certain medical conditions, and some medications can increase the risk of developing gallstones. Regular medical check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help manage and prevent gallstones.

FAQs

The most common treatment is surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy). Medications and non-surgical methods are used in selected cases.

Yes, laparoscopic gallbladder removal is a safe and common procedure with a short recovery time.

A low-fat diet is recommended initially. Gradually reintroduce foods and avoid fried or spicy items.
