What is gall bladder pain attack and what the problems associated with gall stones look like?

Gall attack is characterized by pain under the right costal arch, which is usually spread under the right shoulder, right armpit or chest. Pain can be sharp and interrupted for a period of several hours. The pain goes and comes and it is the type of pain called colic. For bile colic is typical that the pain is slowly growing up to a level and then gradually decreases. Except for described pain with gall attack patients often have nausea and vomits or has urge to vomit. Bile colic is caused by moving of stones or a stone in the bile bag that usually move in a narrower part of the gallbladder or at a time when they enter the bile ducts.

Then people, other than pain, nausea, vomiting, have an inflammation of the gall bladder or bile ducts accompanied by fever, chills and jaundice. Usually, blockage is temporary and is not complicated by infection. Permanent blockage of cystic duct causes inflammation of gallbladder (a condition called acute gallbladder inflammation). Gallstones or sand that blocks the pancreatic duct causes inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).

Sometimes the interrupted pain (colic) in the gallbladder area in the abdominal cavity can occur after operative removal of gallbladder, and such pain can be caused by gall stones in the common bile or pancreatic duct. With such problems it is best that the patient visit the doctor that will determine the matter.
