Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in the gallbladder. They often don't cause symptoms, but when they do, it's typically because they block a bile duct.
Common Symptoms of Gallstones
-Biliary colic (most common):
-Sudden, intense pain in the upper right abdomen or center of the abdomen, often after eating fatty meals.
-Pain may last from 30 minutes to several hours.
-Can radiate to the right shoulder or back.
-Nausea and vomiting
-Indigestion, especially after eating greasy or fatty foods
-Bloating, gas, or belching
-Clay-colored stools or dark urine (if bile flow is obstructed)
-Fever and chills (may indicate infection, e.g., cholecystitis – a medical emergency)
-Jaundice (yellowing of the skin/eyes if a stone blocks the bile duct)
