Gallstones develop when substances in the bile, such as cholesterol and bilirubin, become imbalanced and solidify into stones. Factors contributing to gallstone formation include obesity, rapid weight loss, a diet high in fat and cholesterol, certain medications, and underlying medical conditions affecting the gallbladder or bile ducts. While some people may have gallstones without experiencing any symptoms, others may suffer from episodes of intense pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. In severe cases, gallstones can lead to complications such as inflammation of the gallbladder (cholecystitis), blockage of the bile ducts (choledocholithiasis), or even pancreatitis.

Treatment options for gallstones depend on their size, symptoms, and overall health of the individual. In cases where gallstones are asymptomatic, a “watchful waiting” approach may be adopted, with dietary changes and monitoring for any progression of symptoms. For those experiencing recurrent symptoms or complications, interventions such as medication to dissolve gallstones, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up stones, or surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) may be recommended.
