Gall bladder is fully engaged in the process of formation of bile which is sprayed into the intestine to aid digestion, especially fatty foods, at the end of the tunnel intestine, the liquid will be pulled back to be reused. You need to understand that the bile is made from cholesterol, which is of course taken from cholesterol in human blood.
If cholesterol is too concentrated, there will be a saturation process and the formation of stones in the gallbladder, this stone can block the bile that must pass, so can you imagine how great disturbance. The patient will feel a tremendous pain in the right upper abdomen, pain often radiating to the shoulder and usually felt after eating fatty foods. Handling? Surgical removal of the stone.
