Gallbladder Problems - Symptoms of Gall Bladder Problems

Before going into the problems and symptoms, it would be wise to know briefly about Gallbladder biologically.

Gallbladder
This organ is muscular membranous sac under the liver that stores and concentrates bile. The shape is that of pear and it’s expandable. It holds approximately 50ml of fluid. The basic function of its inner surface is to absorb inorganic salts and water from the bile, which becomes multiply, concentrated than it was when in liver. It can also contract to discharge the bile through the bile duct into duodenum.

Due to its typical anatomy, it throws some problems; which are discussed below along with few symptoms. The problems and the symptoms are described in tandem.

Gallbladder problems
They normally are of the following types-

1. There are several disorders corresponding to gallbladder and the disease following the problems can be very painful and dangerous.

2. Gallbladder problems often start within the body due to common reasons like obesity, heredity, improper and irregular diet habits…

6. The medical term of gall bladder disease goes like this – Cholelithiasis, which refers to gallstones and cholecystitis, which means an infected gallbladder.

7. The risk of gallstones is often enhanced liver problems and anemia.

8. When gallstones tend to block the flow of stream/bile between gallbladder and small intestine, the problem intensifies… Often leading to serious lever problems.

9. As it is known, jaundice disease occurs due to gallbladder problems. When lever is traumatized, skin color is deteriorated to yellow, mucous membranes and eyes get white, and several blood tissues get badly infected.

10. Bile is that fluid which helps in breaking down the big fatty food particles and helps in proper digestion. As gallstones block the way, the food remains improperly fragmented, giving rise to all these problems.

11. Another problem it causes is it may reduce the blood pressure abruptly and heart pumping speed enhances vigorously at times.
