What Are The Most Common Gall Bladder Problems?

A majority of the population will experience some kind of gall bladder problems and not even realize it. In fact, most of the time the symptoms of the problems are so small that they can be easily overlooked.

What Is The Gall Bladder?

Before talking about the issues and symptoms of the gall bladder problems, it is important to know just what the ball bladder is and what is does. The gall bladder is a small sac that lies under the liver and stores the bile used in digestion. The gall bladder also absorbs the salt in the intestines and secretes the bile to aid in the digestion process. This small organ works in conjunction with the liver and is an integral part of the digestive system.

Because the gall bladder is such a part of the digestive process, and because of its function, there are some basic problems that can commonly occur. Some of these gall bladder problems can cause quite a lot of pain and discomfort to the person suffering from them.

Causes of Gall Bladder Problems

Gall bladder problems get their start within the body because of how we live our lives. They do not occur spontaneously, but rather from the way that we eat, and live. Obesity, genetics, and our diet are common factors that might play a role in problems of the gall bladder.

However, just because you have some symptoms associated with gall bladder problems does not mean that you are suffering from a gall bladder attack. It may be something else. The digestive system is all inter-related and one symptom can be common to several different problems, or multiple problems at the same time.

Common Gall Bladder Problems

There are a few different problems that can afflict the gall bladder, the first, and most common of which, is gallstones. A gallstone is a small pebble like deposit that forms inside the ball bladder. A lot of the time you will not even know you have gallstones. They can range in size from a grain of salt to as large as a golf ball. These deposits become a problem when they can either travel into the intestines and block them, or block the bile duct within the gall bladder itself.

Gallstones can be removed in one of two ways. They can pass themselves which will require no further medical follow up. Another way to get rid of gallstones is to remove the gall bladder. This is mostly in extreme cases and after the gallstones have not passed for several days.

Another problem with the gall bladder is in the form of cancer. There are three different types of gall bladder cancer that can occur within the bile duct. There are different forms of treatment for this gall bladder problem which will require the removal of the gall bladder or even forms of radiation and chemotherapy.
