Speciality: Gastroenterology

Description:

Gallstones are small, hard deposits that form in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath your liver. They develop when there’s an imbalance in the substances that make up bile, such as cholesterol or bilirubin. Many people with gallstones experience no symptoms and may never need treatment. However, if a gallstone blocks a duct, it can cause pain, nausea, or even infection—in these cases, medical attention is necessary. Treatment may include medications to dissolve the stones or surgery to remove the gallbladder. If you have persistent abdominal pain or digestive issues, consult your doctor for timely diagnosis and management. Early intervention can help prevent complications and ensure better health outcomes.
