Overview
Gallstones are solidified stores of stomach-related liquid that can frame your gallbladder. Your gallbladder is a little, pear-molded organ on the right half of your mid-region, just underneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a stomach-related liquid, bile, delivered into your small digestive system. Gallstones territory in size from as little as a grain of sand to as extensive as a golf ball. Specific individuals foster only one gallstone, while others foster a considerable number simultaneously.
Family medicine is a community-based discipline
