Gall Bladder and Back Pain
The gall bladder back pain is usually caused due to the
inflammation or improper functioning of gall bladder, which is a
small pear-shaped organ on the underside of the liver, in the
right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Its main function is to
collect and store bile, which is used by the body to digest
fats. Bile is made in the liver cells (hepatocytes) and consists
of water, electrolytes, bile acids, phospholipids and bilirubin.
It assists in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E
and K.
Causes Of Gall Bladder Problems Gall bladder diseases and
problems are fairly common and affect both men and women. The
symptoms can vary from indigestion and nausea to vomiting and
pain in the right upper abdomen. This pain also radiates to the
lower back, resulting in gall bladder back pain. Other symptoms
include: 1. Fever due to inflammation in the gall bladder 2.
Abdominal bloating 3. Severe heartburn and gas 4. Jaundice 5.
Diarrhea
Some of the gall bladder problems are caused by: 1. Production
of toxic bile by the liver 2. Inadequate production of bile 3.
Excess amount of cholesterol in bile, leading to the formation
of gall bladder stones 4. Infection in gall bladder 5. Hormonal
changes during pregnancy 6. Blood disorders or infections
The lower back pain can be attributed to a gall bladder disorder
problem that results in gall bladder pain called biliary colic.
Biliary colic occurs when gallstones block the small duct that
drains bile to the small intestine. Gallstones or biliary
calculi are small stones formed from a mixture of cholesterol,
bile pigment and calcium salts. The formation of gallstones is a
very common disorder and affects approximately 15% of the people
at the age of around 50. However, in most cases, complication
and infections don't arise until gallstones block a bile duct,
which then leads to severe pain lasting from 30 min to several
hours. In such circumstances, you must undertake an ultra sound
test to confirm the presence of gallstones and then get the
proper treatment with the help of a doctor.
