Gallstones are deposits from bile pigments, cholesterol and calcium salts that form in the gallbladder. They may be as small as sand/sludge or as large as pebbles, sometimes filling the gallbladder. They may take months or years to grow, and can cause severe pain.
Gallstones can run in families, they are more common in women than in men, and approximately 20% of the adult population has gallstones.
