The gall bladder is a small pear-shaped organ on the underside
of the liver that is used to store bile. Bile is made in the
liver and is stored in the gall bladder until it is needed to
help the digestion of fat.
Gallbladder disease is a common condition that affects mainly
women, although men can suffer too.
Symptoms :
The symptoms vary widely from discomfort to severe pain which
mainly begins after food. In severe cases the patient can
suffer from jaundice, nausea and fever. The most common reason
for gallbladder disease is gallstones.
Gallstones :
Gallstones are solid stones formed in the gall bladder from
cholesterol, bile salts and calcium. They can vary in size
from a few millimetres to a few centimetres.
Causes :
Gallstones are formed when bile contains too much cholesterol.
The excess cholesterol forms crystals from which gallstones
are made.
Cholecystitis :
This is a chronic inflammation of the gall bladder and causes
:
sporadic pains in the middle of the upper abdomen, or just
below the ribs on the right side.
the pain may spread to the right shoulder or between the
shoulder blades.
the pain can be accompanied by nausea and vomiting and
sometimes excessive wind.
the attack can last from a few minutes to two to three hours
before getting better.
the frequency and severity of attacks is very variable.
attacks can be triggered by eating fatty foods such as
chocolate, cheese or pastry.
it can be difficult to distinguish the pain from other
diseases, such as: gastric ulcer, back problems, heart pains,
pneumonia and kidney stones.
Acute cholecystitis (acute
inflammation or infection of the gall bladder)
This condition results in:
Persistent pain and a temperature lasting more than 12 hours.
Pain and tenderness under the ribs on the right side.
The pain is made worse by movement or coughing.
The treatment consists of a course of homeopathic medicines but if this
is not effective, emergency surgery may be required to remove
the gall bladder.
Jaundice (yellow discolouration
of the skin and whites of eyes)
This is caused when there is an obstruction to the flow of
bile from the liver. Jaundice is not always caused by
gallstones. The symptoms are:
Increasingly yellow eyes and skin.
The skin can become itchy.
Pale bowel motions and dark urine.
The condition is often preceded by symptoms similar to those
of cholecystitis.
The most accurate method of detecting stones is by using an
ultrasound scanner.
