Gallbladder stones, or gallstones, are hardened deposits of digestive fluids that form in the gallbladder. They develop due to excess cholesterol, bile imbalances, or poor gallbladder emptying. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, nausea, and digestive discomfort, while some people remain asymptomatic. If untreated, gallstones can lead to complications like inflammation, infections, or bile duct blockages. Diagnosis typically involves ultrasound or imaging tests. Treatment options range from lifestyle changes and medications to gallbladder removal surgery (cholecystectomy) in severe cases.
