10 Symptoms of Cholecystitis
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
The gallbladder is an organ that stores bile, ready to be released into the small intestine when it is needed. Bile helps us to break down lipids, so it is an important ingredient of our digestive system. If something was to happen to the gallbladder then it can disrupt the digestive system considerably.
Cholecystitis is an inflammation of the gallbladder. It can be caused by various things, including a tumor, infections, and gallstones.
Cholecystitis will lead to a range of symptoms, ranging from uncomfortable to potentially dangerous. Depending on the cause, it can usually be treated without too much difficulty but it should not be treated with complacency.
