Description
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ located beneath the liver on the right side of the abdomen. Its main role is to store and release bile, a fluid produced by the liver that helps break down fats during digestion. Gallbladder issues can include gallstones, inflammation, infection, or blockage of the bile ducts. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, indigestion, and discomfort after eating fatty foods. The gallbladder's position near the liver and digestive organs makes imaging tests, like ultrasounds, important for diagnosis. Eating a balanced diet, staying hydrated, and having regular medical check-ups can help maintain gallbladder health and detect digestive issues early.
