Your gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ on the right side of your abdomen, beneath your liver. The gallbladder holds a digestive fluid that&#8217;s released into your small intestine (bile).<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, gallstones blocking the tube leading out of your gallbladder cause cholecystitis. This results in a bile buildup that can cause inflammation. Other causes of cholecystitis include bile duct problems and tumors.<\/p>\n<p>If left untreated, cholecystitis can lead to serious, sometimes life-threatening complications, such as a gallbladder rupture. Treatment for cholecystitis often involves gallbladder removal.<\/p>\n<h2>CAUSES<\/h2>\n<p>Cholecystitis occurs when your gallbladder becomes inflamed. Gallbladder inflammation can be caused by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gallstones.<\/strong> Most cholecystitis is the result of hard particles that develop in your gallbladder &nbsp;(gallstones) from imbalances in the substances in bile, such as cholesterol and bile salts. Gallstones can block the cystic duct &mdash; the tube through which bile flows when it leaves the gallbladder &mdash; causing bile to build up and resulting in inflammation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tumor.<\/strong> A tumor may prevent bile from draining out of your gallbladder properly, causing bile buildup that can lead to cholecystitis.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bile duct blockage.<\/strong> Kinking or scarring of the bile ducts can cause blockages that lead to cholecystitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<h2>SYMPTOMS<\/h2>\n<p>Signs and symptoms of cholecystitis may include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Severe pain in your upper right abdomen<\/li>\n<li>Pain that radiates from to your right shoulder or back<\/li>\n<li>Tenderness over your abdomen when it&#8217;s touched<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Fever<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Cholecystitis signs and symptoms often occur after a meal, particularly a large or fatty meal.<\/p>\n<h3>When to see a doctor<\/h3>\n<p>Make an appointment with your doctor if you have worrisome signs or symptoms.
