Biliary Colic
Biliary colic is a disease of the gallbladder that is characterized by abdominal pain. This disorder is mostly seen after gallbladder removal, which may develop due to improper care and treatment post surgery.
- The most common symptom of this health issue is a constant pain in the upper abdominal region.
- There is a feeling of pressure in the upper abdominal region just below the breastbone, which may seem similar to the accumulation of gas. The pain may also be experienced in the region near the liver. The pain also tends to spread and can be felt in the right shoulder blade.
- The individual may also be suffering from fever and nausea, followed by vomiting.
- A feeling of heaviness, especially after eating a meal that contains fat is another symptom of gallstones.
- The doctor may prescribe certain pain killers to ease the pain caused due to cholecystitis.
- The diet, which is also referred to as gallbladder diet must include foods that are fat free and high in fiber.
- if the pain becomes severe, then the individual may have to undergo a gallbladder surgery called cholecystectomy, which is a procedure to remove the affected gallbladder through a small incision on the abdomen.
- In case, symptoms of biliary colic after gallbladder removal are noticed, then certain medication that help dissolve the gallstones may be prescribed.
