What Are Gall Bladder stones?
Gallstones are dense particles that develop in the gallbladder, a small organ under the liver. If you have them, your doctor will diagnose you with cholelithiasis.

To aid digestion, your gallbladder stores and releases bile, a fluid produced by your liver. Bile also transports wastes such as cholesterol and bilirubin, which the body produces when red blood cells are broken down. Gallstones may develop as a result of these factors. You can not realise you have them until they block a bile duct, causing discomfort that requires immediate care.
