The gallbladder&#8217;s primary function is to store bile, a digestive fluid produced by the liver, which is released into the small intestine to aid in digestion. Gallstones can vary in size and number, and they can be composed of cholesterol, bilirubin, or a combination of both.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2d793b8 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2d793b8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5482d3c\" data-id=\"5482d3c\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cfce256 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"cfce256\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/drpoornimasubrahmanya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-12-01-09.16.37-A-simple-and-abstract-representation-of-vomiting.-The-image-should-depict-a-stylized-non-graphic-image-of-a-person-bent-over-as-if-feeling-unwell-wi.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2478\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drpoornimasubrahmanya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-12-01-09.16.37-A-simple-and-abstract-representation-of-vomiting.-The-image-should-depict-a-stylized-non-graphic-image-of-a-person-bent-over-as-if-feeling-unwell-wi.png 1024w, https:\/\/drpoornimasubrahmanya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-12-01-09.16.37-A-simple-and-abstract-representation-of-vomiting.-The-image-should-depict-a-stylized-non-graphic-image-of-a-person-bent-over-as-if-feeling-unwell-wi-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/drpoornimasubrahmanya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-12-01-09.16.37-A-simple-and-abstract-representation-of-vomiting.-The-image-should-depict-a-stylized-non-graphic-image-of-a-person-bent-over-as-if-feeling-unwell-wi-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/drpoornimasubrahmanya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DALL\u00b7E-2023-12-01-09.16.37-A-simple-and-abstract-representation-of-vomiting.-The-image-should-depict-a-stylized-non-graphic-image-of-a-person-bent-over-as-if-feeling-unwell-wi-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8dd09a2\" data-id=\"8dd09a2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-162086a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"162086a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Signs and Symptoms<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b9d1a64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b9d1a64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not all gallstones cause symptoms, and many people have them without realizing it.
