Gallbladder Stones

Stones that form inside the gallbladder are usually cholesterol stones. Sometimes they may develop after a period of rapid weight loss. Stones are best visualised on Ultrasound of the abdomen.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that’s tucked beneath the liver. It stores bile (digestive juice), a fluid that helps the body break down fat.

Sometimes, though, gallstones clog the gallbladder and block it from draining. Other times, gallstones simply irritate the gallbladder. If the gallstones are pushed out of the gallbladder, they can block the liver or pancreas from draining

Apart from the pain secondary to stone present within the gallbladder, the stones that slip into the bile duct may cause Jaundice & pancreatitis.
