The gallbladder stores the bile produced by the liver. The most common problems of the gallbladder are cholecystitis and cholelithiasis. People who suffer from some form of gallbladder disease develop symptoms like pain in the right upper abdomen, fever, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, yellowish skin and eyes, and grey-colored stools.
The reason for the development of gallstones is excess cholesterol in the diet, increased bilirubin levels, and improper emptying of the gallbladder. If the gallbladder stones are not treated promptly, they can lead to many complications like cholecystitis, blockage of the bile duct, and gallbladder cancer.
Usually, gallbladder problems are diagnosed with the help of abdominal ultrasound, endoscopic ultrasound, CT, MRI, and blood tests.
Treatment for gallbladder stones involves cholecystectomy which refers to the surgical removal of the gallbladder. Laparoscopic removal of the gallbladder is the most commonly used procedure nowadays. It usually takes about 3 to 4 weeks to recover after the surgery. The surgery is performed by a gastrointestinal surgeon or general surgeon.
