The gallbladder is an organ of 3-4 inch long, pear-shaped located on the right side of the body, just below the liver. One of the functions of the liver is to eliminate toxic substances from the blood so they can be excreted from the body. The liver excretes all these gathered toxins in a digestive agent called bile. The bile also contains cholesterol, bile salts, lecithin and other substances. The bile (about a pint every day) goes first to the gallbladder, which holds until the food reaches the small intestine. The gallbladder then releases the bile, which passes through cystic and bile ducts in the small intestine. Ultimately toxins are passed out of the body through the stool.
Abnormal concentration of bile acids, cholesterol and phospholipids in the bile can cause gallstone formation. The presence of gallstones is known to doctors as cholelithiasis. It is estimated that 20 million Americans have estimates bile, so you're not alone. In fact, one in ten people have gallstones without knowing it. However, if a stone out of the gallbladder and lodges in the bile duct, this can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain in the upper right. These symptoms often arise after you have eaten fried or fatty foods.
Gallstones can range from the size of a tiny grain of sand to larger than a mass the size of a pea. Seventy five percent of gallstones are cholesterol stones, stones of the remaining 25 percent pigment. Pigment stones are composed of calcium salts. Although the cause of pigment stones is unknown, factors such as intestinal surgery, cirrhosis of the liver and blood disorders can increase the risk.
The presence of gallstones creates the possibility that cystitis, inflammation of the gallbladder may develop. This can cause severe pain in the upper right abdomen and / or chest, possibly accompanied by fever, nausea, and vomiting. Other symptoms of gallbladder disease, pain constant below the breastbone that shoots into the right or left shoulder and radiating to the back. The pain can last from 30 minutes to several hours. Urine may be tea or brown and may have tremors, chills, and a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes. Gallbladder attacks often occur at night and may have place sporadically. Abdominal pain that occurs on a daily basis can be a problem with the gallbladder. A gallbladder attack can simulate a heart attack, with severe pain in the chest area.
