  • What are the symptoms of Gallstones?

    Gallstones may become lodged in the neck of the gallbladder or in the bile ducts. When the gallbladder is plugged in this way, bile can’t exit. This may lead to the gallbladder becoming inflamed or distended and this can lead to pain in the upper right abdomen. You may also experience:

Gall stones – Frequently asked questions and misconceptions

Gall stones – Frequently asked questions and misconceptions

By Pace Hospitals • 14 Dec, 2019
Gallstones only cause severe abdominal pain. Symptoms such as abdominal tightness, bloating, indigestion, heartburn, constipation and increased frequency of stools are very common in the general population and are not related to gallstones. Mostly when the patients / treating doctors try to correlate these symptoms with gallstones it leads to unhappiness as these symptoms may not get relieved by a cholecystectomy.
