Expert Care for Gallstones & Advanced Gallbladder Treatment

Are you experiencing severe pain in the upper abdomen, nausea, bloating, or indigestion after eating fatty foods?

At Dr. Vinay Gastro Surgeon Clinic, we understand how painful and disruptive gallstones can be. Gallstones can block the bile duct, causing intense discomfort and leading to serious complications if left untreated.

We provide advanced gallstones treatment in Bangalore, using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and minimally invasive surgical techniques for safe, effective, and long-lasting relief.

What are Gallstones?

Gallstones are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, often made of cholesterol or bilirubin. They can vary in size and may block the bile ducts, leading to inflammation, infection, or pain.

There are two main types of gallstones:

• Cholesterol stones – made primarily of cholesterol

• Pigment stones – made of bilirubin

Some people with gallstones experience no symptoms (asymptomatic), while others experience severe pain (known as a gallbladder attack).

Common Causes of Gallstones

Gallstones can develop due to various factors, including:

• Obesity and high-fat diets

• High cholesterol levels

• Pregnancy (hormonal changes)

• Diabetes and metabolic disorders

• Family history of gallstones

• Age (more common in individuals over 40)

• Chronic liver disease

Certain conditions can increase the likelihood of developing gallstones.

Symptoms of Gallstones

You should consult a specialist if you experience:

• Severe pain in the upper right abdomen or below the ribs

• Nausea and vomiting

• Indigestion and bloating

• Pain after consuming fatty or greasy foods

• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)

• Dark urine and pale stools

If left untreated, gallstones can cause complications such as gallbladder inflammation or obstruction.

Advanced Diagnosis for Gallstones

At our clinic, we use advanced diagnostic methods to confirm the presence of gallstones:

• Ultrasound abdomen (most common test)

• Blood tests (liver function tests, to check for complications)

• CT scan / MRI (if necessary for detailed imaging)

• Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) (for detecting small stones or bile duct blockages)

These tests help determine the size, type, and location of the stones.
