Gallbladder issues are no longer just a concern for older adults. As younger patients increasingly present with gallstones and related complications, awareness is key. Factors like processed diet, extreme dieting, hormonal changes, and inactivity contribute to the trend. Recognizing warning signs — abdominal pain after fatty meals, nausea, or bloating — is crucial for timely treatment. Where dietary and lifestyle changes fall short, minimally invasive surgery offers a safe and effective resolution.

Young Adults
Rising cases of gallbladder disease in 20s and 30s. Early

digestion. When bile becomes concentrated, stones form causing
blockages.
Untreated gallbladder disease can lead to extreme pain, infection,
or emergency surgery complications.
