What is cholelithiasis?

Gallbladder stones or pieces of solid material that form in the gallbladder. Many people have gallbladder stones without any symptoms for their entire lives. Severe cases may require surgery.

Symptoms of cholelithiasis

  • Abdominal pain

  • Right upper abdominal pain

  • Upper central abdominal pain

Questions your doctor may ask to check for cholelithiasis

Your doctor may ask these questions to diagnose cholelithiasis

  • Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?

  • Do you have pain in the upper right area of your abdomen (stomach)?

  • Do you have pain in the pit of the stomach (top middle of the abdomen)?

Treatment for cholelithiasis

This condition does not always need treatment unless it causes problems. If symptoms are present, surgery to remove the gallbladder can be done. If your doctor thinks surgery is risky and the symptoms are mild, a medication may be prescribed.
