Gallstones are crystalline pebbles formed in the gallbladder, a pear shaped organ situated below the liver. Our liver secretes bile juice which aids in digestion. The bile is stored in the gallbladder temporarily and released in to the small intestine through the bile duct when the body needs it. If the bile stored in gallbladder is high in cholesterol or bile salts or bilirubin (a waste substance), its composition becomes dense, and this may lead to the formation of gallstones due to accretion of bile components. Gallstones can be as tiny as a sand grain or as big as a golf ball. Gallstones are of the following 2 types:

1. Cholesterol stones - These are yellowish-green stones composed of solidified cholesterol. Majority of gallstone cases are due to cholesterol stones.

2. Pigment stones - These are dark stones composed of bilirubin.

Women are more prone to gallstone formation than men. Gallstones can get lodged in the bile duct, thereby blocking the free passage of the bile. This leads to inflammation of gallbladder. Gallstones if left untreated can damage the gallbladder or cause severe infection in it.
