Gall Bladder Stones
Understanding Gall Bladder Stones
Gall bladder stones, or gallstones, are solid particles that form in the gallbladder from cholesterol and bile pigments. These stones can block the neck of gall bladder and bile ducts, causing severe pain and digestive issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications such as gallbladder inflammation or infection.
Common Causes of Gall Bladder Stones
- High Cholesterol Levels: Excess cholesterol in bile can lead to stone formation.
- Bile Concentration: If the gallbladder does not empty effectively, bile becomes concentrated and forms stones.
- Genetics: A family history of gallstones increases the risk.
- Obesity and Diet: High-fat, high-cholesterol, and low-fiber diets contribute to gallstone formation.
Symptoms of Gall Bladder Stones
- Severe pain in the upper right abdomen
- Pain that spreads to the back or right shoulder
- Nausea and vomiting
- Indigestion and bloating
- Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
- Fever and chills (if infection is present)
