10 frequently asked question patients asks before GallbladderTreatment

What does the gallbladder do?

It stores bile and releases them into the small intestine to help digest fat as you

eat.

Is bile produced in the gallbladder?

No. The bile fluid is produced by the liver and then travels to gallbladder which

stores them. A duct system located in the liver helps the bile to pass in and out

from the gallbladder.

What are gallstones?

Hardened deposits of bile are called gallstones. They are formed in your

gallbladder and can be the size from as small as sand grain to a big as golf ball.

This requires gallbladder treatment prescribed by the specialists.

How gallstones affect the health?

Gallstones may block the gallbladder’s outlet causing pain. If the blockage

happens, then the gallbladder stops releasing bile resulting in sharp pain or

nausea. People usually feel this pain after a meal.

How long does the gallbladder pain lasts?

Some gallbladder pains are minor and may go within a few minutes or hours.

But some are more severe and may require immediate medical treatment. If

you are experiencing gallbladder pain then contact a specialist for gallbladder

treatment immediately.

How Do I know I have gallstones?

The gallbladder treatment specialist will carry an ultrasound or a CT scan to

detect the presence of gallstones.

Do the gallbladder attacks occur without gallstones?

In the initial stage when the bile inside the gallbladder becomes thick, releasing

them become more difficult. In those circumstances, the gallbladder may show

symptoms similar to gallbladder attacks.

Can gallstones move out of the gallbladder?

Yes, they do. Once released from the gallbladder, gallstones may get stuck in

the ducts between the intestine and liver, resulting into life-threatening

infection called ascending cholangitis. This is rare but requires immediate

gallbladder treatment.

How can gallstones be treated?

Gallstones are usually treated by Cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal

surgery) or through medications.

Can gallstones lead to pancreatitis?

Yes, they may lead to inflammation of the pancreas resulting in pancreatitis. It

occurs when the gallstone traveling through the bile duct gets stuck in the

pancreatic duct.
