Gallstones are solid particles that form in the gallbladder, a small pear-shaped organ located under the liver in the upper right abdomen. The gallbladder stores and concentrates bile, a yellowish fluid produced by the liver to help digest fats. Gallstones are typically made of cholesterol, bile salts, and bilirubin, and vary in size from tiny grains to large stones.
In many cases, gallstones in Israel are discovered incidentally during routine ultrasounds. When they cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, or back pain, timely intervention is necessary. Fortunately, no wait gallstones diagnosis and gallstone treatment without waiting are available through Israel medical tourism gallstones programs.
