Gallbladder disease is cholecystopathy.
Gallstones can form in the gallbladder and can create a blockage of the bile duct. This blockage can cause a sharp gnawing pain under the lower right ribs that can last for an hour or more.
Your doctor will have an Ultrasound done to determine whether or not you have gallstones. If these gallbladder attacks occur again, the usaul procedure is to have them surgically removed. The body gets along just fine without the presence of the gallbladder.
