Gallbladder Stones & Homeopathic Treatment
Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones (cholelithiasis), are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in the gallbladder. These stones can vary in size and may cause pain, nausea, and digestive disturbances.
Causes & Risk Factors
• Excess cholesterol in bile leading to stone formation.
• Impaired gallbladder function, causing bile stasis.
• Obesity and a high-fat diet increase the risk.
• Hormonal changes during pregnancy or due to contraceptive pills.
• Diabetes and liver diseases contribute to gallstone formation.
Symptoms of Gallbladder Stones
• Severe pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after meals.
• Nausea and vomiting after consuming fatty foods.
• Bloating, gas, and indigestion issues.
• Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) in severe cases.
• Clay-colored stools and dark urine, indicating bile duct obstruction.
