The gallbladder is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdominal cavity under the liver. It's a sac that receives and stores bile from the liver and has a duct that empties the bile into the digestive tract's small intestine (duodenum). The bile provides an emulsifier of fats/lipids to aid in digestion.
Gallbladder is under the lowest ribs on the right side of your stomach in the abdomen. The gallbladder is in the abdominal cavity and is part of the digestive system.
Would a soreness under the right rib indicate a problem gallbladder ?
ReplyDeleteFor about 3 months now I have been having extreme pain under my right rib cage, on my lower left abdomen, and under my right shoulderblade on my back.. I'm 14 years old and Im 5,7" and 165 pounds... (all muscle) I'm basically a vegetarian.. But these pains happen every time I have meat or when I have too much fat.. I start getting headaches and I get nausea... Is this a sign ghat I have a gallbladder infection? Should I talk to a professional? Thanks
