Customer question:
Where does gallbladder pain occur? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
Gallbladder-related pain usually occurs in the upper right part of the abdomen. It often comes on suddenly and can be very intense. The pain can spread towards the back, especially between the shoulder blades or the right shoulder.
The pain, known as biliary colic or biliary colic, often occurs after a meal, especially after eating foods rich in fat. It can last from a few minutes to a few hours. Suppose the pain is related to the obstruction of the bile ducts. In that case, accompanying symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, fever, chills, and jaundice, which means a yellowish discoloration of the skin and eyes.
Dark urine and light-colored stools are also possible symptoms that may indicate problems with the gallbladder. Pain may also occur in cases of gallbladder inflammation (cholecystitis) or complications such as pancreatitis or cholangitis.
