Gallstones are lumps of solid material in your gallbladder. They're formed when the digestive juice called bile gets hard like a stone. They can be as small as a grain of sand or as big as a golf ball. Your gallbladder may form one big stone, hundreds of tiny ones, or both sizes at the same time.
Biliary colic is spasm of the gallbladder. This can be caused by gallstones blocking the passage of bile out of the gallbladder. Here's how to care for the condition at home.
Gallstones form when liquid stored in the gallbladder hardens into pieces of stone-like material. Stones in the gallbladder may or may not cause symptoms.
