Gallstone
A gallstone is a solid particle that forms in the gallbladder, typically composed of cholesterol or bilirubin. These stones can vary in size and shape, ranging from tiny grains to larger, round stones. Gallstones can cause pain and blockage in the bile ducts, leading to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, and jaundice. Treatment options may include medication to dissolve the stones, or surgical removal of the gallbladder.
