Gallstones: Causes and Symptoms

Gallstones arise when bile chemistry becomes unbalanced, leading to crystallization of bile salts or cholesterol. Depending on the case, you may experience:

  • Sharp pain under the ribs or in the right shoulder
  • Nausea, vomiting, or bloating, especially after eating
  • Yellowish skin or eyes if bile flow is restricted
  • Indigestion or discomfort after fatty meals

Complications like gallbladder infection or pancreatitis may develop without timely care.
