Gallstones
Gallstones are hardened deposits of digestive fluid that form in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver. These can range from a grain of sand to a golf ball in size. Gallstones can cause pain, nausea, and complications such as cholecystitis. Treatment may include medication or surgical removal.
