Galbladder Inflammation and Stones Posted: 03-16-07 05:15am
Is there a difference between the symptoms
if your gallbladder is inflamed and just
stones? I've read an inflamed gallbladder
can be life threatening, and last night
the pain lasted about 5 hrs to sever i was
vomiting. Usually it has subsided after an
hour. I just dont want something bad to
happen and it become inflamed and I am
unaware. I have gallbladder surgery
scheduled for april 5th.
Yes, there is a difference between
gallbladder inflammation and gallbladder
stones. Different symptoms manifest
depending upon if the gallstones are
followed by inflammation of the
gallbladder, or not. Pain, nausea, and
vomiting are present in both cases but if
a person is experiencing inflammation,
fever and high temperature are also
present. An inflamed gallbladder is under
risk of rupturing. A rupture of the
gallbladder is a life-threatening
condition and requires urgent surgical
operation.
