Gallbladder Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Gallbladder disease includes different disorders of this small organ that stores bile, among them the formation of stones or inflammation of its walls. It may go unnoticed or show up with discomfort after meals.
Common symptoms: Pain in the upper right part of the abdomen, a feeling of heaviness, nausea, or intolerance to fatty foods are common signs.
Common causes: Factors such as age, family history, being overweight, and certain eating habits that favor stone formation play a role.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist studies its origin, and the general surgeon steps in when a surgical approach is needed. With recurring abdominal pain after eating, coming in for a visit makes it possible to identify the cause and define the next steps with medical support.
