Gallstones develop as solid formations which resemble small pebbles and emerge inside the gallbladder when bile components including cholesterol and bilirubin reach an unbalanced state. The stones can develop into tiny grains or larger stones which produce symptoms that include severe abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting and indigestion.

Causes of Gallstones

There are three main mechanisms in the formation of gallstones:

• Normally, bile contains enough chemicals to dissolve the cholesterol excreted by the liver. But if the liver excretes more cholesterol than bile can dissolve, the excess cholesterol may form crystals and eventually stones.
• Bilirubin is a chemical produced after the breakdown of red blood cells. Certain liver diseases like liver cirrhosis, biliary tract infections, and blood disorders make too much bilirubin and the excess bilirubin contributes to gallstone formation.
• Impaired contractility of the gallbladder prevents the bile emptying and concentrated bile contributes to the gall stone formation.

Symptoms of Gallbladder Stones

Gallstones exist as a widespread health issue because most people who develop them do not experience symptoms. The first signs of the condition emerge when a stone approaches the gallbladder neck or obstructs a bile duct in the biliary system, which results in pain and discomfort.

The typical pattern of gallstone pain for patients who have symptomatic gallstones begins with sudden onset of intense and unending discomfort that affects their right upper abdomen, which can persist from several minutes to multiple hours. The pain has the potential to extend to the back and right shoulder region. The condition may also lead to symptoms such as acidity and nausea and vomiting and bloating and indigestion and fever.
