Patients with no symptoms usually do not require treatment. The best treatment for patients with symptoms is usually surgery. Those who are not good candidates for surgery may take oral bile salts.

Can gallstones move to the left side?

Gallstones form in the gallbladder. Can they move around the body? Sure, they can move along your gastro-intestinal tract. Elsewhere in the body? No, of course not. They cannot pass through your organs into the rest of the body. There is a small duct from the gallbladder to the small intestines. Small stones can form in this area and grow in size over time, possibly forming a block that inhibits the gallbladder from secreting bile into your digestive tract. Yes, it is possible for small gallstones to move through this duct, into your intestines, into the colon, and out through your anus. Large gallstones will get stuck in this duct and cause severe pain, amongst other symptoms. This requires medical attention.
