Gall Bladder Stones

Gall Bladder Stones

Gallbladder stones, or gallstones, are solid particles that form in the gallbladder due to an imbalance in bile components like cholesterol, bile salts, and bilirubin. They can be small or large and may cause no symptoms or lead to gallbladder attacks with severe pain, nausea, vomiting, and digestive issues. Risk factors include obesity, high-fat diets, pregnancy, and rapid weight loss. Diagnosis is done through ultrasound or imaging tests. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and medications to surgical removal (cholecystectomy) in severe cases. Preventing gallstones involves a balanced diet, regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy weight.
