Gallstones: When Should You Talk to a Surgeon?

Gallstones are hard deposits that form in the gallbladder. Many people have no symptoms, but stones that affect bile flow can cause abdominal pain and other symptoms.

Common Symptoms

• Upper-right abdominal pain, sometimes after meals
• Nausea or vomiting
• Repeated episodes of abdominal discomfort
• Fever, chills or jaundice may require prompt medical attention

When Should You See a Surgeon?

If symptoms keep returning, medical evaluation can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment. Diagnosis may include a physical examination, blood tests and imaging such as an ultrasound.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on symptoms and clinical findings. Symptomatic gallstones may require treatment, with laparoscopic gallbladder removal commonly used when surgery is appropriate.
