What Causes Severe Pain In Gallbladder?

I have had four days of terrible gallbladder pain, had scans in the past and no stones were visible. I get discomfort and swelling on a regular basis (I can cup the swelling in my hand) but this bout was really painful. Is it worth considering having the gallbladder removed? I do have IBS and now the pain has subsided I have bad wind and sticky soft faeces. Am normally more on the constipated side . Kind regards

Hi welcome to HCm

Severe pain in gallbladder is no doubt a matter of concern .

Dear , scans in the past can't assure that there are no stones today .

Most disorders of the gallbladder and bile ducts result from gallstones. Bile is a fluid produced by the liver . If the flow of bile is blocked, it builds up inside the gallbladder, causing swelling, pain, and possible infection.

Gallbladder aids in the digestive process by storing , and secreting it into the small intestine when food enters .
Normally, bile passes out of the gallbladder on its way to the small intestine. Stones in the gallbladder sometimes pass into the bile ducts, or stones may form in the bile ducts. These stones sometimes block a bile duct.
Is it worth considering having the gallbladder removed ? Right awnser for your query is-- Is it easy to remove than to preserve ?
