Gallbladder: Liver
built 638 days ago
The Gallbladder is a small organ attached to the underside of the liver and passes bile into the digestive system, which helps to dissolve and digest fat. Gallstones can form in the gallbladder for a variety of reasons, and these can cause a number of problems, the commonest of which are severe abdominal pain, or jaundice. The only effective treatment is the removal of the gallbladder by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (keyhole surgery).

Gallbladder problems are usually caused by gallstones, which are small hard masses that form in the gallbladder or in the bile duct. These stones may block the flow of bile, a digestive agent produced by the liver. As a result, the gallbladder may swell, causing sharp abdominal pain, vomiting, and indigestion.

Gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ under the liver in the upper abdomen. It is connected to the liver (which produces bile) by the hepatic duct. The size is approximately 3 to 4 inches long and about 1 inch wide.

If the gallbladder is loaded with stones, there is very limited space in the gallbladder to store the bile. The bile, which is produced in the liver, stays in the liver and leads to liver congestion. When the liver is very congested, nutrients or herbs, which have to go through the liver first, may not reach the gallbladder. This explains why some people with very congested liver cannot flush out their stones unless they decongest their liver first. Another problem is that bile produced in the liver, through olive oil stimulation, has to flow down to the gallbladder in order to push out stones with the help of gallbladder contraction by lemon or grapefruit juice. If the liver is congested, bile flow is restricted.
