Gallstone Symptoms
When Gallstones Cause Symptoms (Biliary Colic)
Many gallstones remain "silent" for years. However, when a stone temporarily obstructs a bile duct, it triggers noticeable digestive distress.
Radiating Back Pain
Pain that spreads through to the upper back, between the shoulder blades, or under the right shoulder, lasting from thirty minutes to several hours.
Nausea, Bloating & Indigestion
Persistent digestive intolerance, feeling uncomfortably full after meals, recurring nausea, and vomiting during acute pain episodes.
Warning signs such as high fever, severe unremitting pain, or yellowing of the eyes/skin (jaundice) require immediate emergency medical care.

Gallstones Information
Frequently Asked Questions About Gallstones
Common questions answered by medical clinicians regarding diagnosis, gallbladder removal, and diet.
Call 089510 16007Do all gallstones require gallbladder removal surgery?
No. Gallstones that do not cause any symptoms (silent gallstones) typically do not require surgery and are managed with observation and lifestyle monitoring. Surgery is recommended when gallstones cause pain, inflammation, or complications.
Can gallstones simply be dissolved or crushed with medicine?
Medications to dissolve cholesterol gallstones have very limited success and require years of use, with high recurrence rates once discontinued. For symptomatic gallstones, laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains the gold standard treatment worldwide.
Can a person live a normal life without a gallbladder?
Yes. The liver produces bile continuously. Without a gallbladder, bile flows directly into the small intestine to digest food. Most patients adjust rapidly and experience no long-term dietary restrictions.
How is laparoscopic gallbladder surgery performed?
The surgeon makes 3 to 4 tiny keyhole incisions in the abdomen, inserts a camera and specialized instruments, and gently removes the gallbladder under general anesthesia, usually allowing discharge within 24 to 48 hours.
What are the emergency signs of gallstone complications?
Severe persistent abdominal pain lasting more than 5 hours, fever with chills, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), or severe vomiting indicate potential infection or duct blockage and require emergency evaluation.
