Gallbladder Stones (Cholelithiasis)

What are Gallbladder Stones (Cholelithiasis)?

Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder—a small organ that helps digest fat. These stones can block the normal flow of bile, leading to pain, infection, or inflammation. Many patients experience symptoms after meals, especially fatty foods.

At Jayaram Hospital, Karimnagar, we offer accurate diagnosis and minimally invasive gallbladder surgery for long-lasting relief.

Symptoms

• Sudden pain in the upper right abdomen or shoulder

• Nausea or vomiting, especially after meals

• Indigestion or bloating

• Fever or chills (if infection occurs)

• Yellowing of skin or eyes (in severe cases)

Causes

• Imbalance in bile composition (too much cholesterol or bilirubin)

• Family history of gallstones

• Obesity or rapid weight loss

• High-fat or low-fiber diets

• Sedentary lifestyle

• Certain medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, liver disease)
