Gallbladder problems: Symptoms and treatments - MedTalk S7

Pain in the upper right side of your abdomen, nausea, or discomfort after eating? These could be signs of a gallbladder problem. In this episode, we talk about the most common gallbladder diseases, their symptoms, and the available treatment options. We're joined by Dr. Adrián Rivas, a general surgeon in Puebla with over 7 years of experience.

Dr. Rivas explains what gallstones are, along with other conditions that can affect this small but important part of the digestive system. We also discuss when surgery is necessary, which cases can be managed without it, and what to expect before and after a cholecystectomy.

Most common symptoms of gallbladder problems:

Abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, indigestion, fever, yellow skin, changes in urine

This episode serves as a helpful guide for those recently diagnosed or who suspect their symptoms might be gallbladder-related. We also highlight the importance of not ignoring digestive discomfort and seeking medical care in time to avoid serious complications.
