What are Biliary Stones (Gallstones)?

Biliary stones, commonly known as gallstones, are hardened deposits of cholesterol, bile pigments, or calcium salts that form in the gallbladder or bile ducts. These stones can block bile flow, causing pain and digestive problems.

Causes of Biliary Stones

• High cholesterol levels in bile

• Excessive bilirubin (due to liver disease or blood disorders)

• Slow gallbladder emptying, leading to bile stasis

• Obesity and a high-fat diet

• Rapid weight loss or fasting

• Pregnancy and hormonal changes

• Diabetes and metabolic disorders

• Genetic predisposition

Symptoms of Biliary Stones

• Intense pain (biliary colic) in the right upper abdomen or back

• Nausea and vomiting

• Indigestion and bloating after fatty meals

• Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) if stones block bile ducts

• Clay-colored stools and dark urine

• Fever and chills if infection develops (cholecystitis)
