When Digestive Pain Needs Expert Hands — Understanding Gallbladder Conditions with Dr. Karan R. Rawat, Agra’s Leading Gastro & Laparoscopic Surgeon
Many people ignore stomach discomfort after meals, acidity, bloating, or sudden sharp pain on the right side of the abdomen—often assuming it’s “gas.”
But in reality, these symptoms may be early signs of gallbladder disease, one of the most common digestive problems today.
Across Agra and nearby regions, thousands of patients trust Dr. Karan R. Rawat, a leading gastroenterologist, laparoscopic surgeon, and gallbladder specialist, for expert diagnosis and safe, advanced treatment of all gallbladder conditions.
🩺 What Does the Gallbladder Do?
The gallbladder is a small organ under the liver that stores bile—essential for digesting fats.
When disease affects the gallbladder, digestion suffers and severe complications may arise.
🔍 Common Gallbladder Conditions
1️⃣ Gallstones (Cholelithiasis)
The most frequent gallbladder disorder.
Causes:
- Excess cholesterol
- Obesity
- Sedentary lifestyle
- Pregnancy
- Genetics
- Rapid weight loss
Symptoms:
- Sudden right upper abdominal pain
- Pain radiating to shoulder or back
- Nausea & vomiting
- Bloating after meals
Gallstones can block ducts and cause severe emergencies.
2️⃣ Acute Cholecystitis (Gallbladder Inflammation)
Occurs when stones block the cystic duct.
Symptoms:
- Severe, persistent abdominal pain
- Fever
- Vomiting
- Tenderness in right upper abdomen
Untreated cholecystitis may cause gangrene or perforation.
3️⃣ Choledocholithiasis (Stones in the Bile Duct)
These stones migrate from the gallbladder and block the common bile duct.
Symptoms:
- Jaundice
- Dark urine
- Pale stools
- Severe pain
Requires urgent endoscopic intervention (ERCP) followed by surgery.
4️⃣ Gallbladder Polyps
Small growths inside the gallbladder.
- Most are harmless
- Polyps >1 cm need removal due to cancer risk
Dr. Rawat monitors polyps closely and advises surgery when necessary.
5️⃣ Biliary Dyskinesia (Poor Gallbladder Function)
The gallbladder fails to empty properly.
Symptoms mimic stones, but the cause is dysfunction, not blockage.
Diagnosis requires special tests like HIDA scan.
6️⃣ Porcelain Gallbladder
A rare condition where the gallbladder wall hardens due to calcium buildup.
High cancer risk — surgery is advised.
7️⃣ Gallbladder Cancer
Often develops silently and diagnosed late.
Warning signs:
- Persistent pain
- Jaundice
- Rapid weight loss
- Constant vomiting
Early detection and surgery significantly improve outcomes.
⚠️ Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore
- Sharp right-upper abdominal pain
- Pain after oily or heavy meals
- Recurrent vomiting
- Fever with abdominal pain
- Jaundice
- Unexplained digestive issues
- Shoulder or back pain associated with meals
If these symptoms appear repeatedly, gallbladder evaluation is essential.
