Gallstones

Gallstones are masses which form in the gallbladder or bile ducts. They can be caused by excess cholesterol or bilirubin in the body. Gallstones can produce symptoms such as fever, jaundice, indigestion, pain and belching. Treatment may include surgery, dietary changes, exercise or extraction.
