Gallstones are not genuine stones. These are the accumulation of solid material inside the gallbladder, which place under the liver. These gallstones often go unnoticed and are discovered only when they start causing trouble like blocking the bile duct.
Gallstones occur due to several reasons like genetics, weight, diet, etc. If you face issues like high cholesterol, diabetes, cirrhosis, sickle cell anemia, sudden weight loss, pregnancy, etc., you are very likely to develop gallstones. Common symptoms associated with gallstones are persistent pain in the upper belly or upper back, nausea, vomiting, and other digestive problems.
As the symptoms are common to usual digestive issues, it is possible to mistake the gall stone with these general problems. It is always better to consult a liver specialist like Dr. Piyush Ranjan, who can conduct a thorough examination of your pain and ascertain the root cause.
