ایک طبی حالت ہے جس میں پتہ (گیل بلڈر) کے اندر پتھریاں بن جاتی ہیں۔ پتہ جگر کے نیچے ایک چھوٹا سا عضو ہوتا ہے جو بائل (صفراء) ذخیرہ کرتا ہے۔ جب بائل میں موجود کولیسٹرول یا دوسرے اجزاء کا توازن بگڑ جاتا ہے تو یہ مواد جم کر سخت پتھری کی شکل اختیار کر لیتے ہیں۔
یہ پتھریاں چھوٹی کنکریوں سے لے کر بڑی پتھروں تک ہو سکتی ہیں اور ان کا رنگ پیلا، سبز یا کالا ہو سکتا ہے۔ کچھ لوگوں میں یہ پتھریاں علامات ظاہر نہیں کرتیں، لیکن کچھ افراد میں یہ شدید درد، قے، یا یرقان کا باعث بن سکتی ہیں-

Cholelithiasis means gallstones form in your gallbladder. It is a small organ under the liver. These stones block bile flow, which helps digest fats. The cholelithiasis meaning in Urdu covers this condition where solid particles disrupt digestion and can cause pain or inflammation. Most people don’t know they have stones until symptoms appear.
Common signs include:
Sudden upper-right belly pain
Pain after fatty meals
Nausea or vomiting
Bloating or gas
Fever or chills
Yellow skin or eyes
Gallstones form due to:
Too much cholesterol or bilirubin in bile
Concentrated bile from slow gallbladder emptying
Obesity or rapid weight loss
Certain diseases or medicines
You’re more likely to get gallstones if you:
Are female
Are over 40 years old
Are overweight

Have a family history of gallstones
To lower your risk:
Maintain a healthy weight
Eat fiber and healthy fats
Avoid rapid weight loss

Doctors categorize gallstones by composition and behavior:
These are the most common type of gallstones. They form when bile has too much cholesterol and not enough bile salts. Cholesterol stones are yellow-green and often linked to obesity, high-fat diets, and rapid weight loss.
These are smaller, darker stones made mostly of bilirubin. They are more common in people with liver disease, infected bile ducts, or certain blood disorders like sickle cell anemia. These stones form when there is too much bilirubin in the bile.
These stones contain both cholesterol and pigment materials. They vary in size and shape and can form due to multiple causes, including infections, poor diet, and gallbladder stasis. Mixed stones are often seen in older adults.
Doctors may use:
Ultrasound scan
Blood tests for liver and bile duct function
CT scan or MRI in some cases
HIDA scan to assess gallbladder function
Small stones:
Watchful waiting
Dietary changes: reduce fats, eat fiber
Keep hydrated
Large stones:
Medications to dissolve stones (limited use)
Procedures to remove stones or the gallbladder
Surgical options:

Untreated gallstones can cause:
Gallbladder inflammation
