  2. What are Gallstones? Gallstones are hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, a tiny organ that contains bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver. It might be as little as a grain of sand or as huge as a golf ball. Gallstones afflict 10% to 22% of the population, however only 80% develop symptoms that interfere with everyday living. The most frequent digestive ailment is gallstone disease.

  3. Gallstones Symptoms Gallstones may not cause any pain for many years. However, if a gallstone develops a blockage in the duct, it can produce severe discomfort that can persist for few minutes to a few hours. There might be severe discomfort in your upper right abdomen, the centre of your belly, or just below your breastbone. Back ache between the shoulder blades is possible. You are experiencing pain in your right shoulder. Vomiting or nausea.

  4. Causes of Gallstones The gallbladder is a tiny organ in the abdominal area of the body that stores bile, a digesting fluid. When you eat anything, your gallbladder sends bile into your intestines to aid digestion. Hard stones occur when this bile becomes too concentrated. The exact cause of gallstones is unknown, however persons with a family history of gallstones are more likely to acquire them. Then there are fat people, inactive persons with high triglyceride levels, and those who shed a lot of weight quickly. Gallstones are more common in women.

  5. Gallstones Surgery Gallstones can injure tissue, induce infection, or produce a blockage. To avoid these risks, your doctor may prescribe gallbladder removal surgery. Bile passes directly from your liver into your small intestine once it is gone. Previously, surgeons would do open surgery, which required a huge incision. The gall bladder, however, may now be removed laparoscopically. A few tiny incisions are made on the right side of your belly for this procedure. A laparoscope, a narrow tube with a camera on the end, is inserted through one incision by the surgeon. A screen displays your gallbladder. The gallbladder is removed by the surgeon through another minor incision. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a less intrusive surgery that allows for a speedier recovery.
