Gallstones develop when cholesterol and other substances in the bile form crystals that become hard stones in the gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small sac located just under the liver. Gallstones can occur when your gallbladder does not empty properly or if you have too much cholesterol in your bile.
Gallstones are the most pressing of all gallbladder diseases. They develop when substances in the bile (such as cholesterol, bile salts, and calcium) form hard particles that block the passageway to the gallbladder. In addition, stones tend to form when the gallbladder doesnât empty completely or often enough. They vary in size from as small as a grain of sand to as large as a golf ball. Numerous factors contribute to your risk of gallstones. These include: 1  being overweight or obese. 2  eating a high-fat or high-cholesterol diet. 3  having diabetes. 4  being age 60 or older.
