Cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder, a small organ near the liver that plays a part in digesting food. Normally, fluid called bile passes out of the gallbladder on its way to the small intestine. If the flow of bile is blocked, it builds up inside the gallbladder, causing swelling, pain, and possible infection.
Gallstones form in the gallbladder due mainly to dietary or hormonal imbalances, but also from liver and gallbladder disease. When stones get caught in the bile ducts leading to the intestine, this prevents the release of bile and triggers inflammation and diffuse pain. Stabbing and/or burning upper abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and belching are common symptoms of a gallbladder attack.
