At this time, bile is discharged into the duodenum through a passage called bile duct, and when bile is abnormally concentrated in this process, it becomes hard like a stone, and stones formed in the gallbladder or bile duct are called gallstones. cause of cholelithiasis

Cholelithiasis refers to the presence of gallstones or all diseases caused by gallstones. The symptoms of cholelithiasis are almost asymptomatic, and only less than 25% of cholelithiasis patients show symptoms. When gallstones block the bile duct and cause acute cholestasis, bile acid pain that causes severe pain or convulsions in the upper right corner of the abdomen can occur, and this symptom occurs in about 1-4% of people with gallstones every year.

Eating foods high in cholesterol, fat, and carbohydrates increases the possibility of cholesterol gallstones, so it is recommended to eat foods rich in unsaturated fats, fiber, vitamin C and calcium that reduce the risk of gallstones.Without gallbladder, bile discharged from the liver goes down to the duodenum through the bile duct, so there is no life-threatening problem even without gallbladder, and 10-15% of people may develop gallbladder syndrome that causes nausea, indigestion, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
