The gall bladder back pain is usually caused due to the inflammation or improper functioning of gall bladder, which is a small pear-shaped organ on the underside of the liver, in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen. Its main function is to collect and store bile, which is used by the body to digest fats. Bile is made in the liver cells (hepatocytes) and consists of water, electrolytes, bile acids, phospholipids and bilirubin. It assists in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, A, D, E and K.
Causes and Symptoms Of Gall Bladder Problems
Gall bladder diseases and problems are fairly common and affect both men and women.
Some of the gall bladder problems are caused by:
1. Production of toxic bile by the liver
2. Inadequate production of bile
3. Excess amount of cholesterol in bile, leading to the formation of gall bladder stones
4. Infection in gall bladder
5. Hormonal changes during pregnancy
6. Blood disorders or infections
The symptoms can vary from indigestion and nausea to vomiting and pain in the right upper abdomen. This pain also radiates to the lower back, resulting in gall bladder back pain.
Other symptoms include:
1. Fever due to inflammation in the gall bladder
2. Abdominal bloating
3. Severe heartburn and gas
4. Jaundice
5. Diarrhea
The lower back pain can be attributed to a gall bladder disorder problem that results in gall bladder pain called biliary colic. Biliary colic occurs when gallstones block the small duct that drains bile to the small intestine. Gallstones or biliary calculi are small stones formed from a mixture of cholesterol, bile pigment and calcium salts. The formation of gallstones is a very common disorder and affects approximately 15% of the people at the age of around 50.
However, in most cases, complication and infections don’t arise until gallstones block a bile duct, which then leads to severe pain lasting from 30 min to several hours. In such circumstances, you must undertake an ultra sound test to confirm the presence of gallstones and then get the proper treatment with the help of a doctor.
