Introduction- By Dr. Pawan Kumar Bansal, Gall Bladder Specialist in Chandigarh
As a Gall Bladder Specialist in Chandigarh, I Dr. Pawan has been fortunate to treat hundreds of patients with gall stones and related conditions.

What Are Gallbladder Stones Made Of?
Gallstones, also known as cholelithiasis, are crystallized clumps in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ just below the liver that is small but very important for sustaining life because it stores and releases bile, a digestive fluid. Gallstones interfere with this process, causing pain and complications.
Gallstones are generally categorized into three types based on composition:
- Cholesterol Stones – They are the most dominant type which constitutes about 80% of the gall bladder stones. They form when bile contains too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts, leading to the crystallization.
- Pigment Stones – Consist of an overabundance of bilirubin, which is a product from the breakdown of red blood cells. Conditions such as cirrhosis or infections can increase the risk.
- Mixed Stones – These include a mixture of cholesterol, calcium salts and bile pigments and are commonly found in Indian patients owing to the dietary intake and lifestyle.
At Amcare Hospital we have best in class imaging tools which include ultrasound and MRCP (Magnetic Resonance Cholangiopancreatography) that help us identify the presence of gallstones and its type also, which is critical to determine the best gall bladder stone treatment in Chandigarh.
What Are the Signs and Symptoms of Gallbladder Stones?
Symptoms do not occur in every patient, and some gallstones are “silent” for many years. As soon as they start to obstruct or irritate, the symptoms are apparent and occasionally severe. Common warning signs include:
- Strong or severe pain in the belly (abdomen) – Pain in upper right side or across the abdomen, possibly reaching to the back. The pain can spread to the shoulder or the back and may last several minutes or hours.
- Dyspepsia and Bloating – Patients have symptoms of fullness after eating, a knife-like pain, and a feeling of gas/ bloating, especially after a fatty or fried meal.
- Nausea and Vomiting – A gallbladder attack is often accompanied by nausea, especially after normal meals.
- Fever and Chills – These are symptoms that suggest infection of the gallbladder (cholecystitis).
- Jaundice – Stones blocking the bile ducts can cause bile pigments to build up in the blood, resulting in yellowing of the skin and eyes.
The symptoms are not only uncomfortable, but also warning signs that immediate medical care is necessary. If you have any of these symptoms, it is recommended that you should not ignore them to transform into a life-threatening emergency.
What Are Effects of Gallbladder Stones
Gallstones may not seem harmful at first, but the long-term consequences to the health could be dangerous. Common effects include:
- Cholecystitis (Inflammation of the Gallbladder) – Causes very painful and infection along with fever.
- Blockage of the Bile Ducts – Bile is prevented from exiting the liver, leading to severe pain, jaundice, and digestive issues.
- Pancreatitis – Gallstones may obstruct the pancreatic duct, leading to inflammation of the pancreas, a life-threatening condition.
- Bloating Reflux - Continuous bloating and acid reflux.
- Greater Risk of Cancer – Long-term inflammation that leads to untreated stones can multiply your chances of developing gallbladder cancer.
