Gallstones

Cholelithiasis refers to a disease caused by stones forming in the gallbladder, and is a common disease of the digestive system. The incidence rate increases with age, and it is significantly more common in women than in men. Clinical manifestations mainly include paroxysmal abdominal pain and acute inflammation. If stones enter the common bile duct, complications such as jaundice, cholangitis, and pancreatitis may occur; however, most patients may be asymptomatic.
