What Are Gallbladder Stones?
3. Transmission
You can’t pass gallstones to others, but the good news is that you can pass them yourself, as long as they are small enough. Some small gallstones pass into your bile ducts after leaving your gallbladder.
Gallstones that don’t become lodged in place move into the small bowel before being passed out of your body through your stool. Unfortunately, inflammation in the bile duct can spread to neighboring organs and potentially lead to severe complications.
