Warning Signs of Gallstones
Gallstones are small stones that form in the gallbladder or bile duct and can cause pain and other symptoms. Some symptoms may be mild and go unnoticed, while others signals a more serious problem. It is important to recognize the warning signs of gallstones in order to seek treatment early.
Abdominal Pain
One of the most common warning signs of gallstones is abdominal pain. This pain can occur in the upper right side of the abdomen, near the ribs, and may also radiate to the back or shoulder blade. It is usually a sudden, sharp pain that worsens with movement or deep breathing.
Nausea and Vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are often associated with gallstones and may be caused by the obstruction of the bile ducts. Other gastrointestinal symptoms such as indigestion and bloating may also occur.
Fever
Fever is another symptom of gallstones, typically accompanied by chills and sweating. It is often an indication of an infection or inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts.
Jaundice
Jaundice is a common symptom of gallstones and is caused by the obstruction of the bile ducts. It manifests as yellowing of the eyes and skin, dark urine, and light colored stool.
Chronic Fatigue
Chronic fatigue is another symptom of gallstones and is often the result of an infection of the gallbladder or bile ducts.
Loss of Appetite
Gallstones can cause a loss of appetite and lead to weight loss. Other symptoms such as abdominal pain and nausea may also contribute to this.
If you experience any of these warning signs of gallstones, it is important to seek medical attention. Your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or surgery to treat the condition.
