Answer

It is not Cirrhosis,the condition is called Biliary colic

Step-by-step explanation

Abdominal pain as a result of gallstones is called biliary colic. This condition can happen when there is a tumor blockage or when gallstones blocks the usual flow of bile from the gallbladder. Female who are at their mid age are at a higher risk of developing gallstones.
