Basically, the gallstones are piled up in the gallbladder due to increase in cholesterol or due to bilirubin. These both are collected at the bottom of the bladder and result in the formation of stones. Though these are the size of sand grains, they would cause a lot of pain and discomfort. However, the size could range from minuscule sand particles to gold ball size. With bile washing over them, it keeps on collecting the extra material. The smaller stones can turn bigger and these also travel during which they cause blockage.
