How to Recognize the Symptoms of Gall Bladder Disease

1. How to Recognize the Symptoms of Gall Bladder Disease

2. ‘Pain in stomach’ is a very common statement that we hear. For some it can be relieved with a simple antacid tablet but in some cases recurring stomach pain might be an indication of an underlying problem. One of the common problems can be the malfunction of gallbladder. The gallbladder is a part of the body’s digestive system and it is located just under the liver. The main function of gall bladder is to help with digestion. It stores the bile and then releases it in the intestine in a controlled manner to help break down the food making it easy to digest. Bile is a combination of fat, cholesterol and fluids that break down the fatty food and make it easier for fat soluble vitamins and other nutrients to be absorbed in the bloodstream effectively. If you looking for gallbladder surgery in Mumbai then Dr. Aparna Govil Bhasker is one of the specialist in this field.

Some common gall bladder problems that lead to various symptoms include: • Gallstones (cholelithiasis) in which small/large stones form in the gall bladder. The small stones often go unnoticed but large ones can block the bile and give rise to various symptoms. Small stones can be sinister too as they can easily slip out of the gall bladder into the common bile duct leading to obstructive jaundice. Sometimes they can slip into the duct of the pancreas and that can lead to acute pancreatitis. • Biliary colic: This problem usually arises after a fatty meal and the gall stones may slip in the bile duct causing pain and spasms in the upper abdominal area.
