Gallstone

Gallbladder stones, also known as gallstones, are hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, a small organ beneath the liver that stores bile (a digestive fluid). These stones can vary in size and can be made of cholesterol or bile pigments. Gallstones can block bile ducts, causing pain, infection, or inflammation, and may require treatment or surgery to remove the gallbladder (cholecystectomy) in severe cases.

If you’re asking about a condition “different” from gallstones but similar in nature, kidney stones might come to mind. Both involve the formation of solid deposits within an organ (gallbladder or kidneys), but kidney stones form in the kidneys and are usually composed of minerals like calcium, uric acid, or oxalate. Both conditions may cause severe pain when the stones obstruct the flow of fluids. However, gallbladder stones primarily affect digestion, whereas kidney stones impact urinary function.
