Cholecystolithiasis

Cholecystolithiasis refers to the presence of gallstones within the gallbladder, a small organ that stores bile, which helps digest fats. Gallstones are solid particles that form when substances in bile, such as cholesterol or bilirubin, become imbalanced and crystallize. While some individuals experience no symptoms, others may suffer from pain in the upper right abdomen, nausea, or digestive issues, especially after eating fatty foods. The condition can sometimes lead to complications like inflammation or blockage of the bile ducts. Treatment options range from observation to surgical removal of the gallstones or the gallbladder itself if symptoms are severe.
