Why do gallstones cause daily pain?

Patient's question:

Liver area dull pain, ALT level over 20, with a history of many years. Tried many medications, but the effect is not good. Why does gallstones cause daily pain?

Doctor's answer:

Because gallstones are related to diet, eating anything can cause pain. Everyone's absorption depends on the addition of bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. Whenever there is a need for absorption, the gallbladder will contract. If there are stones in the gallbladder, contraction will lead to pain. Since we eat every day, gallstones cause pain every day. Especially when eating foods high in fat, the gallbladder contracts strongly. This condition is best treated with surgery as early as possible. Thank you!
