What is "cholelithiasis"?

Cholelithiasis, commonly known as gallstones, is a condition where solid particles form in the gallbladder, which is a small organ located under the liver. These particles can vary in size and number, and they may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, particularly after eating fatty foods, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice, which is the yellowing of the skin and eyes. Treatment options for cholelithiasis depend on the severity of symptoms and may include dietary changes, medications to dissolve the stones, or surgery to remove the gallbladder. Gallstones can sometimes cause complications such as inflammation of the gallbladder or blockage of the bile ducts, which may require immediate medical attention.
