Gallbladder Stones
Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones or biliary colic, are a common condition that affects the gallbladder, a small organ located in the abdomen that stores bile. The gallstones cause severe pain and discomfort, usually on one side of the lower abdomen. The pain may be constant or come and go. The most common cause of gallstones is the buildup of bile salts in the gallbladder. Bile salts are formed when the gallbladder contracts to empty bile into the duodenum. If the bile salts become too concentrated, they stick together to form a gallstone. This can cause blockages in the bile ducts, leading to inflammation and pain. Gallstones can cause other symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. In severe cases, the gallstones can rupture, leading to infection and sepsis. Treatment typically involves the use of medications to dissolve the gallstones or to help the gallbladder contract and pass the stones. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the gallstones. If you suspect you have gallstones, it is important to seek medical attention and to follow a treatment plan prescribed by your healthcare provider.
