Gall Stones

Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid. Gallstones can vary in size and number and may or may not cause symptoms. People who experience symptoms usually require gallbladder removal surgery. Gallstones that don’t cause symptoms usually don’t need treatment. Minimal complaints & thickened bile called sludge can be managed with medication.

Symptoms may include:
• Pain in your upper belly, often on the right, just under your ribs
• Pain in your right shoulder or back
• An upset stomach
• Vomiting
• Other digestive problems, including indigestion, heart burn and gas.

See your doctor or go to the hospital if you have signs of a serious infection or inflammation:
• Belly pain that lasts several hours
• Fever and chills
• Yellow skin or eyes
• Dark urine and light-colored poop

Causes of GallStones

Doctors aren’t sure exactly what causes gallstones, but they might happen when:

There’s too much cholesterol in your bile. Your body needs bile for digestion. It usually dissolves cholesterol. But when it can’t do that, the extra cholesterol might form stones.
There’s too much bilirubin in your bile. Conditions likecirrhosis, infections, and blood disorders can cause your liver to make too much bilirubin.
Your gallbladder doesn’t empty all the way. This can make your bile very concentrated.
