Bladder Stone Treatment

Gall then goes into the small intestine via the bile ducts to facilitate the digestion, mainly of fats. Whenever we eat something, gall is released into the intestines. The bile duct is a narrow tube.

Types of Gall Bladder Stones

When there is an imbalance of the chemicals in the gallbladder, cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate, and calcium carbonate, gallstones can form. Gall stones are of three types:

• Cholesterol stones: These are the most common ones (representing about 75%-80%).They are usually yellow-green in color & are formed by hardened cholesterol.


• Pigmented stones: They are formed from the crystallization of calcium, when there is excess of bilirubin.They are of black &brown color.


• Mixed stones: They are the combination of both cholesterol & pigmented stones.

What are the Causes of Gall Bladder Stones?

Mostly gallstones are made up of cholesterol, a type of fat which is made in the liver and obtained from some foods. Apart from that, there are many different factors which can cause gall bladder stones. They may form when:

• Liver releases excess of cholesterol, which can cause a supersaturation of cholesterol into the bile


• Cholesterol remains undissolved in the bile due to lack of bile salts


• Other substances present in the bile can cause crystallization of the cholesterol


• Bile gets concentrated due to incomplete or improper emptying of the gallbladder

Symptoms of Gall Stones

Most of the patients with gall bladder stones have no symptoms. They experience pain only if a gallstone blocks one of the bile ducts. In this case they will experience a sudden, mild or severe abdominal pain, which is called as biliary colic.

Pain is mostly felt in the area between shoulder blades, back, side part of the body, or upper-right or middle abdomen. Patient experiences pain mostly during night. Other serious symptoms may develop if the blockage is severe, or for a longer duration or develops in another other part of the digestive system (such as the small bowel or pancreas).
