What are symptoms of a gull bladder infection?
15 Apr 2010
I’ve been having pains on the top part of my stomach and a headache (but the headache might not have anything to do with it, cause I also get headaches because of my eyes). Anyway, my older sister (who is now 22) had to have her gull bladder removed because of an infection or something like that and my mom thinks that I could have the same problem. Where is the gull bladder located and what are the symptoms for an infection? Thanks!
Sorry. *Gall Bladder*
The Gallbladder is located in the right upper part of your abdomen. Gallbladder infections (Cholecystitis) are symptomatic with pain in that area as well as radiation at times to the chest and right shoulder blade, fever and nausea and vomiting. Evaluation of the disease at a hospital would show an elevated WBC (white count) and sludge and gallbladder wall thickening on Ultrasound.
Gallbladder Disease, Gallstones (cholelithiasis), can cause biliary colic or spasm, pain in the same area with ingestion of a fatty meal. Not necessarily an infection, just spasm of the gallbladder which stores and secretes bile to digest fats. To minimize biliary colic or gallbladder pain, stick to a low fat diet. A ultrasound can diagnose Cholelithiasis and Cholecystitis.

2010 Apr 15 5Gallbladder infections occur most often in women, people over the age of sixty, and people on restricted calorie diets of less than eight hundred calories per day. Gallbladder infections are sometimes referred to as gallbladder attacks, and according to the Mayo Clinic, are usually caused by gallstones. Many people who develop gallstones do not have symptoms, although gallstones that block the passages to other organs such as the liver or pancreas may result in intense pain and widespread infection.
Pain
1. According to the Mayo Clinic, pain is the most common symptom of gallbladder infections. It may occur in the upper abdomen or between and around the shoulders.
Itching
2. Intense itching in the skin can be a symptom of a gallbladder infection. It happens when where is a buildup of bile in the blood due to inflammation of the bile duct.
Heartburn
3. Decreases in the flow of substances such as bile that help the body break down food may slow down digestion and cause acid reflux. This is another symptom of gallbladder infection.
Jaundice
4. Infection of the gallbladder may cause jaundice, which includes yellowing of the skin and eyes, as well as dark urine and light stool.
Nausea
5. Nausea and vomiting, especially after eating fatty or fried foods, are symptoms of gallbladder infection, because of problems with the flow of bile.
Weight Loss
6. Gallbladder infections can cause weight loss by limiting the amount of enzymes from the pancreas. These enzymes help with food absorption and passage through the digestive tract.
Warning
7. Untreated gallbladder infections may spread into the small intestine, liver or pancreas, which may be life-threatening, according to the Mayo Clinic.

If you wish to alleviate and prevent , stress incontinence, urge incontinence (overactive bladder-frequency), pelvic pain, bladder prolapse (cystocele), uterine prolapse,
rectocele, or sexual dysfunction or if you simply want to achieve the maximum benefits from "kegel exercises", we offer you a genuine breakthrough solution.
The patented Kegelmaster?, the world's first and only true progressive resistance vaginal exerciser, with 15 adjustable strength settings,
has been tested and recommended by leading luminaries in the field of female incontinence. The nationally syndicated, award winning "Bob & Tom Show", without our paying for a single advertisement, has talked about the Kegelmaster? for over a year because of its ability to stop female incontinence, and for the sexual benefits. It was referred to as "rather miraculous" in the "The Doc is In" Sexual Advice column in Underwire Magazine.
In a product comparison conducted in the January, 2003 issue of Marie Claire Magazine (reprinted in the Discussion Forum) the Kegelmaster? tested #1.
Kegelmaster? WorldWide, is the premier distributor for this groundbreaking device, which has no equal.
We ship the same or the following business day, and include with your Kegelmaster?:
The one and only TRUE Kegelmaster
Warning!
The generic "Kegel Exerciser" is a poor imitation of our patented product, not possibly being able to work as well.
More details about this and other competitive devices in the Discussion Forum.
Beware of cheap, ineffective, fraudulent imitations! If it does not have 15 strength settings and does not have a completely adjustable knob, it is not a genuine Kegelmaster.
There is no technique or competitive product at any price that compares to the genuine Kegelmaster. There are other products such as vaginal weights and cones that are tedious to use,
and there are conventional "kegel exercises", likewise tedious, but there is nothing to rival the Kegelmaster and slowly but surely the world is finding out!

Here, the story of Rachel, 32, married six years, who swears by it.
That?s what Rachel, like
?Two months after I started the Kegel
exercises,
intense
all-body
orgasms.
I began having
So when a friend told her that these pubococcygeus (PC) flexes, called Kegel exercises (which involve nothing more than squeezing that hold back urine), could make sex absolutely amazing, Rachel hit the Internet, eager to learn more. ?I found out how easy it is to strengthen my muscles on my own,? she says. ?And just for fun, I also bought the Kegelmaster 2000 (www mykm.com). It?s like a Stair-Master for your PC muscles.? After only three weeks, Rachel noticed a huge improvement in her orgasms: ?They felt a lot better, and I had them more often.?
A bigger big 0
But the best was yet to come (literally!): ?Just two months after I started the Kegel exercises, I began having these really intense all-body orgasms that were triggered by
his thrusts,? she reports. ?With this new kind of orgasm, there?s a
pleasurable pressure that starts building, and as it increases, I feel
like I can?t keep going because it?s too intense. But once I give in
to that overwhelming feeling and continue, that?s when I have these
amazing, well, body spasms?and it just feels good beyond words.?
