3. Biliary colics
This is another painful symptom, but we have listed it separately because it has very specific characteristics and is often more severe, and signals the need for medical intervention. One of the most severe conditions that can affect your gallbladder is gallstones, which are sedimentations of minerals and other substances with which your gallbladder works. They can become little stones and block the flow of the bile from the gallbladder to the intestine.
This causes severe pain that can last for up to five hours, and very often returns every time you eat large or fatty meals, and especially if you have been fasting before you start eating. This spasm can be very strong and indicate that you should get an appointment with a doctor. There is a chance that you will be prescribed medication to help the gallstones dissolve and disappear, but if your gallstones are too large you might need to undergo surgery to get them removed.
