Gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ, located at the upper right part of the abdomen below the liver.
The role of the gall bladder is to store the yellow coloured liquid called bile juice that helps in proper digestion.
Whenever there is excessive cholesterol deposit, it gets hardened and forms Gallstones. These are of varying sizes ranging from the size of a grain to the size of a golf ball. Also, there may be multiple gallstones present at the same time.
If a person feels severe symptoms of gallstone, he/she is advised to undergo gallbladder removal surgery. Otherwise, if these stones do not cause any problems, there may not require any treatment.
Types of Gall Bladder Stones :
There are basically Two Types of Gallstones :
Cholesterol stones: Usually yellow-green in colour, they are the most common gallstones found. Excessive concentration of bile in gall bladder leads to formation of yellow cholesterol stones.
Pigment stones: Small and darker ones, these stones are formed of bilirubin. Bilirubin comes from bile which is produced by the liver and gets stored in the gallbladder.
Gallbladder : The key to having a healthy gallbladder is to have a well-balanced diet having fruits, and vegetables, which have loads of nutrients, high in calcium, vitamins C, and B and fiber. Also, eating plant-based protein like beans, nuts, lentils, tofu, and tempeh are very good for gallbladder.for more: details +91 98141 62970
