Answer 3

There are two typical gall bladder problems. One is cancer which is very rare. The other is gallstones. These 'stones' are actually hardened pieces of cholesterol and/or bilirubin that may block one of the cystic ducts or common bile ducts. These ducts are the tubes that allows bile to exit the gallbladder and enter the intestine.

A blockage may cause a gnawing pain under the lower right part of the rib cage. If the pain is accompanied by chills and fever, it needs immediate medical attention.

The usual treatment is surgery to remove the gallbladder.

Answer 4

After surgery you may have some pain in your shoulder and belly that lasts a couple of days. Also, the anaesthesia may cause some muscle aches and pains. You may get some diarrhea or nausea. And of course, at the spot where the surgeon made the incision, it may be sore for a few days too.

Definition

Gallbladder disease includes inflammation, infection, stones, or blockage (obstruction) of the gallbladder.

Alternative Names

Biliary disease

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The gallbladder is a sac located under the liver. It stores and concentrates bile produced in the liver. Bile aids in the digestion of fat, and is released from the gallbladder into the upper small intestine (duodenum) in response to food (especially fats).

Types of gallbladder disease include:

• Cholecystitis(inflammation of the gallbladder)
• Gallstones (cholelithiasis)
• Chronic acalculous gallbladder disease (in which the natural movements needed to empty the gallbladder do not work well)
• Gangrene or abscesses
• Growths of tissue (polyps) in the gallbladder
• Defects of the gallbladder that are present at birth (congenital)
• Sclerosing cholangitis
• Tumors of the gallbladder and bile ducts

Answer 6

One of the most common causes of gallbladder pain is gallstones (also called gallstone disease, or cholecystitis). Gallstones occur when cholesterol and other substances found in bile form stones. When the stone passes from the gallbladder into the small intestine or become stuck in the biliary duct it can cause pain.
