Hello,

In most cases, gallstones do not cause any symptoms. When they do cause symptoms, gallstone can cause: Belly pain often on the right side just under the rib cage or in the middle top portion of the belly. Pain in the back or right shoulder. Nausea and vomiting. There are 3 treatment options.

They can have: No treatment- this option is best for most people who have no symptoms. If they start having symptoms, they can think about treatment then. Surgery to remove the gallbladder and the stones. Treatment to get rid of the stones but keep the gallbladder. You should talk to your doctor to see if you have another cause.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Heang Chan Raksmey, General & Family Physician
