What is Gallstones ?

Solid particles called ‘gallstones’ are formed in the gallbladder, an organ beneath the liver. This condition is diagnosed as cholelithiasis. The gallbladder is a part that is meant to store and supply bile, a fluid formed by the liver. Nevertheless, it also transports wastes such as cholesterol and bilirubin, which the body produces after breaking down red cells. This is a major reason for gallstone occurrence. Varying from a size sand grain to a golf ball can cause an urgency of immediate treatment.
