Doctors from Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi removed 1,500 stones from the gallbladder of a 32-year-old woman.
The woman, an IT professional, regularly consumed junk and fatty foods, which left her feeling bloated, distension, and heaviness. To overcome this, she routinely took over-the-counter (OTC) antacids for the last 3 to 4
months.
The woman also had a few episodes of recurrent pain in the right upper abdomen, which used to radiate to the back and shoulder on the right side. Most of the time, the pain was associated with nausea and vomiting.
She contacted her family physician, and an ultrasound was advised, which revealed that her gall bladder was full of stones.
