Symptoms indicative of cholelithiasis or gallstones


Problem: The patient presents with symptoms indicative of cholelithiasis, or gallstones. The most prominent symptom is upper abdominal pain, particularly in the right upper quadrant, which can be intermittent or constant and may radiate to the back or shoulder. The patient also exhibits jaundice, a result of bile duct obstruction leading to a buildup of bilirubin in the bloodstream. This obstruction can also cause changes in stool color, making it pale or clay-colored. Additionally, the patient experiences nausea, vomiting, and indigestion, including bloating and a feeling of fullness after meals. These symptoms collectively suggest a disturbance in the normal flow of bile, likely due to gallstones. It is recommended that the patient seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
