There are many of us who go without food for long periods of time. This long time eventually turns into a long day. If you eat irregularly day after day, the bile in the gallbladder does not work properly. As a result, stones form in the gall bladder. But this stone is not only for irregularities in food. Besides this, there are many other reasons. For example: eating adulterated, fatty foods, increased blood fat levels and lack of physical activity can also cause this.
Gallbladder is the storage of bile juice in our body. It is located in the upper right side of the abdomen. Any change in bile results in the formation of small pebble-like stones in the gallbladder, called gallstones or gallstones. Many people suffer from gall bladder stones. It can cause abdominal pain, nausea, reluctance to eat, yellow urine, nausea, sweating and feeling weak. Due to these symptoms, at any time the patient may experience fever with severe pain in the right side of the abdomen. And this pain can spread to the shoulder.
Gallbladder stones or gallstones occur when bile hardens and accumulates in the gallbladder. It causes severe pain in the upper right side of the abdomen. The gallbladder is located on the right side under the liver. Excess bile accumulates in this sac. This bile hardens into stones, and accumulates in the gallbladder.
Gallstones are more common in women. Apart from this, obese people are more than 40 years old. Again, diabetic patients may have this problem. It causes sudden pain, and is very sick.
