GALLBLADDER ISSUES SYMPTOMS SKIN
Persistent dyspeptic symptoms occur frequently following cholecystectomy. Symptoms of possible biliary disease Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes) Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right side of the abdomen.
Drugs that inhibit the synthesis of prostaglandins may now be the treatment of choice in patients with gallstones who are suffering acute pain attacks. The risk of acute cholecystitis appears to be greater in those with large solitary stones, that of biliary pancreatitis in those with multiple small stones, and that of gallbladder cancer in those with large stones of any number. The best predictors of future biliary pain are a history of pain at the time of diagnosis, female gender and possibly obesity. The far higher rates of symptom development reported in a few studies raise the possibility that these incidence estimates may be too low. Those whose stones are symptomatic at discovery have a more severe course, with approximately 6-10% suffering recurrent symptoms each year and 2% biliary complications. What are other gallbladder pain symptoms In addition to severe pain in your upper right abdominal area, you may experience the following symptoms: Yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes ( jaundice ). Gallstone-related complications occur at a rate of less than 1% annually. The most common symptom of gallbladder disease is pain, called biliary colic, which occurs in the upper abdomen, near the rib cage. How can gallbladder problems be prevented Gallstones are more likely to form if there’s an overabundance of cholesterol in the bile. Persons discovered to have gallstones in the absence of typical symptoms appear to have an annual incidence of biliary pain of 2-5% during the initial years of follow-up, with perhaps a declining rate thereafter. When gallstones get stuck while traveling through the duct (tube) to the stomach, they block the outflow of bile, which causes the gallbladder to spasm. Many, if not most, persons with gallstones have no history of pain attacks. Dyspeptic symptoms of indigestion, belching, bloating, abdominal discomfort, heartburn and specific food intolerance are common in persons with gallstones, but are probably unrelated to the stones themselves and frequently persist after surgery. The pain is steady in intensity, may radiate to the upper back, be associated with nausea and lasts for hours to up to a day. The onset is relatively abrupt and often awakens the patient from sleep. Characteristically, this pain is severe and located in the epigastrium and/or the right upper quadrant. The most certain symptomatic manifestation of gallstones is episodic upper abdominal pain.
