Gallstones form at the gallbladder which is just like a balloon shape with greenish or yellowish fluid inside, which is just lying below the liver. So this gall bladder contains a stagnated bile or concentrated bile and this bile directly comes from the liver to the intestine through a small pipe. Which is called a common bile duct. So this gallbladder has no function in our body except for concentration of the bile. So whenever we take the food it is going to contract squeeze itself so that the concentrated bile will come and meet in the small intestine for the digestion of the food so actually there is no role but if the gallbladder doesn’t work as the age goes on or as in pregnancy conditions are certain unknown reasons why the gallbladder doesn’t contract and it will stagnate the bile.
