About Gallstones

Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder. Many cause no symptoms, but stones can trigger pain, inflammation, jaundice or pancreatitis if they block the bile flow.

Common symptoms

• Pain in the upper right abdomen
• Pain after fatty meals
• Nausea and vomiting
• Jaundice or fever

See a specialist if symptoms are persistent, getting worse, or come with warning signs such as blood in vomit or stool, black stools, jaundice, difficulty swallowing, unexplained weight loss or severe pain.
