What Are Gallstones?

Gallstones are small stones that form in the gallbladder, a small organ that sits beneath the liver and helps digest fats.

Many people with gallstones experience no symptoms, but when stones block the bile ducts they can cause painful attacks known as biliary colic.

According to the NHS, gallstones are common and often develop without obvious symptoms until they begin to cause pain or complications.

Symptoms That May Suggest Gallstones

You may benefit from a gallbladder ultrasound scan if you experience:

• Pain in the upper right abdomen
• Pain that spreads to the back or shoulder
• Bloating or nausea after eating fatty foods
• Sudden severe abdominal pain attacks
