What is Gall Bladder Stone?
A little organ beneath the liver. Bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver that aids in fat digestion, is stored and concentrated in the gallbladder. These stones might be as big as a ball or as small as a grain of sand. Asymptomatic gallstones can cause no symptoms for some people, but when the stones obstruct the bile ducts, they can cause severe pain and other problems for others.
