What is "biliary colic"?

Biliary colic is a term used to describe episodes of intense abdominal pain caused by gallstones blocking the bile ducts. This pain typically occurs in the upper right or middle abdomen and can last for a few hours. It may be triggered by eating fatty foods. Treatment for biliary colic often involves managing symptoms with pain relief medications and making dietary changes to avoid foods that trigger pain. In some cases, surgery to remove the gallbladder may be recommended to prevent future episodes of biliary colic.
