What is Gallstones?

Gallstones are pieces of solid material that form in your gallbladder, a small pear shaped organ under your liver. The size of gallstones can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball.

What causes Gallstones?

Doctors aren’t sure of exact causes of gallstones, but they might happen when:

• too much cholesterol and bilirubin in your bile.
• gallbladder doesn’t empty all the way.

How is Gallstones treated?

Your healthcare provider can only recommend the treatment type that suits best for you.

Treatment doesn’t require if you don’t have any symptoms. Some small gallstones can transfer through your body on their own.
