    Gallstones are solid deposits that form in the gallbladder or bile ducts, composed primarily of cholesterol and pigment. Risk factors include middle age in females over 50, obesity, pregnancy, hormonal contraceptives, cirrhosis, and celiac disease. Symptoms include pain in the upper right abdomen, fever, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. Surgical removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) is often required to treat gallstones causing inflammation of the gallbladder or bile ducts.
