Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder, a small organ located beneath the liver. Gallstones can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and indigestion. If left untreated, this condition may lead to complications such as cholecystitis, pancreatitis, or even severe infections.

• Imbalance of bile salts: When bile contains too much cholesterol or bilirubin, gallstones can form.
• Bile quality: Insufficient gallbladder function to expel bile can lead to accumulation and stone formation.
• Genetic factors: A family history can increase the risk of developing gallstones.
• Obesity: Increases cholesterol in bile, raising the likelihood of stone formation.

• Abdominal pain: Pain in the upper right abdomen, which may radiate to the back or shoulder.
• Nausea or vomiting: Often occurs after a fatty meal.
• Indigestion: Feelings of bloating or discomfort.
• Fever and chills: If stones cause cholecystitis.

• Monitoring and symptomatic treatment: If stones are asymptomatic, a doctor may recommend monitoring.
• Medications: Certain medications may help dissolve cholesterol stones.
• Surgery: In severe cases, gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) may be necessary.

1. Do gallstones always require surgery?
   1. Not always. If the stones are asymptomatic, monitoring may be sufficient.
2. What symptoms indicate I should see a doctor immediately?
   1. If you experience severe pain, high fever, or jaundice, seek medical attention immediately.
3. How can I prevent gallstone formation?
   1. Maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and keeping a healthy weight can help reduce the risk.
4. Are there non-surgical treatments for gallstones?
   1. Some medications may help dissolve cholesterol stones, but they are often not very effective and take time.
