Its purpose is to store and deliver bile &#8212; the fluid that helps digest food. If your gallbladder is not working properly, or your bile becomes out of balance, hard fragments called gallstones start to form. These fragments can be as small as a grain of rice or as big as a golf ball, and unfortunately, they don&#8217;t\u00a0go away on their own. If you experience pain or other symptoms including fever, diarrhea or unusual bowel movements, nausea and jaundice, a surgical removal of your gallbladder may be necessary. This type of surgery is common and referred to as a cholecystectomy.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uuk0La8qxE4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The procedure can be performed because you are able to live and function without your gallbladder. Your liver can make enough bile on its own, and bile can naturally find its way into your small intestine even if your gallbladder is removed and no longer available to help.<\/p>\n<p>Some patients with gallstones experience no symptoms and therefore do not need surgery. However, others can experience heightened symptoms, including\u00a0 intense, stabbing pain in the stomach that can last several hours. If this is the case, medical attention should be sought immediately.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SpSEaBW2ljM\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your gallbladder is a pear-shaped organ located under your\u00a0liver,\u00a0in the upper-right area of your abdomen.
